need help, IMac to dCS Puccini word clock

I just disassembled my system to put it in a new rack, and cant get it back owrking. I used an IMac as a server, with a USB connection to a dCS external word clock, which in turn is connected to a dCS Puccini CD player.

I know I have everything downstream form the CD player hooked up correctly because I can play CDs from the CD player to the preamp.

I think the issue is in the IMac midi set up-- icalled Apple and they were befuddled...can anyone help me make sure the IMac is configured correctly to send the data stream to the clock vis I tunes?

Thanks

Not quite sure what you're trying to do, but the Apple iMac does not supply any Word clock signal.

The iMac's USB port can only be connected to a Puccini U-Clock's USB input.

Or alternatively, connect your iMac's Toslink Audio output to a Toslink-to-Coax S/PDIF converted, which can then be connected directly to the Puccini player's Coax S/PDIF input.
