2.1) CD or DVD player using S/PDIF
Plug an RCA terminated digital cable between the RCA Digital Out of your
CD or DVD player and the S/PDIF input of the MYDAC II. Select S/PDIF
on the front panel. The Sampling Rate indicator on the front panel of the
MYDAC II should illuminate at 44 kHz. If the front panel Sampling
Indicator does not illuminate, check your connection and verify that your
CD or DVD player requires its digital output to be switched on.
2.2) CD or DVD player using Toslink or "Optical" cable
Plug a Toslink digital cable between the Toslink Digital Out of your CD or
DVD player and the Toslink input of the MYDAC II. Select Toslink on the
front panel. The Sampling Rate indicator on the front panel of the MYDAC
II should illuminate at 44 kHz. If the front panel Sampling Indicator does
not illuminate, check your connection and verify that your CD or DVD
player requires its digital output to be switched on.
2.3) Apple Computer using USB
Using a high-quality USB cable, connect the USB output of your MAC
computer to the USB input of the MYDAC II. Your MAC should "see" the
MYDAC II. Look in System Preferences for Sound and be sure the
MYDAC II is selected as the device for sound output. See your computer's
manual for more connection information.
2.4) Apple Computer using USB to S/PDIF converter
Use a high-quality USB to S/PDIF converter. Connect the USB to your
MAC computer and the output of the converter to the S/PDIF input of the
MYDAC II. Similar to the set-up in 2.3, your MAC should "see" the USB-
S/PDIF converter (but not the MYDAC II) in System Preferences for Sound
as the output device. Be sure the S/PDIF adapter is selected as the
device for sound output. See your computer's manual or the device's
manual for more connection information.
2.5) Apple Computer or Device using a Toslink cable
Many Apple computers, iPads, iPods, and Airport Express units have the
ability to output digital audio via their headphone jack as an optical
connecter to the MYDAC II. One can use either a special connector known
as a 3.5mm "mini adapter" with a standard Toslink cable, or a specially
made 3.5mm "mini" to standard Toslink digital cable. Connect this 3.5mm
"mini" optical cable to the headphone jack of the Apple device and the
