PS Audio Digital Link III - Best Connection to MBP


Hi,

I have the PS Audio Digital Link III DAC which I play music with on my MacBook Pro. Currently I use an Airport Express. I am thinking of purchasing Pure Music to get better sound. However, to use PM I think I need to wire my system via Digital or USB rather than the wireless.


Does anyone have recommendations on the best way connect my MacBook Pro to the DLIII? It offers Toslink, Coaxial, or USB.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks so much!

If you want to play Redbook via Pure Music/DAC III, you could keep it simple and use one of the USB busses on the Macbook and the USB input on the PS Audio.

If you want to be able use all the features of Pure Music, like its ability to play back high resolution files (Like HD Tracks), my recommendation would be to relay on a bridge like the M2Tech HiFace, or the Halide in order to pass higher resolution files from the USB port on the Macbook, convert them to S/PIDF and use the coaxial input on the DAC, as long as you are planning on keeping the PS Audio DAC
