My guess is the Mac is going to be fine. Like Philjolet stated they like "high current" amps (maximum output current)

CarverPro ZR1600. They sound almost as good with the audiophile-approved CI D200, also digital, and good for 350 watts. Maggies can sound deceptively good with much lower power, but you won't know what you are missing.
