Mac mini to eq using toslink?


I am wanting to try to use my behringer dac to see if it improves the sound of my stereo. Would i be able to use a mini toslink adapter and toslink cable and then go to the eq from the mac mini? Thus keeping it in the digital realm before the dac?

you need to get an adapter at your closest fry's for $2 and place it onto your toslink cable and plug it into your mac. the adapter is a little longer and allows the mac to send digital signals. all of my mac and airport express devices uses this setup. i have never heard of your dac. what you can do is try the connection from your mac to the dac using a toslink cable and see for yourself if there is a difference. only you can tell. if you don;t hear a difference then you are in good shape.
Rb,
The paradesea is the dac that sells for $500 on ebay. A lot of agon members have it or have tried it. Usually gets very good reviews when compared to pricier dacs.

I will try out the optical connection. I am assuming you are saying the optical connection is better than the usb. Is this correct?
