Hi
I'm using the cambridge DAC Magic Plus http://www.cambridgeaudio.com/summary.php?PID=872
USB out from the Mac - DAC Magic Plus and Beolab 5 connected with SPDIF cables.
Pro: With the DAC Magic you can use several digital inputs and the SPDIF output to the Beolab 5
Cheers
Carlo

No, digital to the Beolab 5!
I'm using the analog out for the Beoport which is feeding my Masterlink Network. If you are using only an iMac and a pair of Beolab 5, you can also buy a cheaper Toslink to SPDIF converter.
The DACMagic is a great digital Hub - also Headphone output is pleasure with my AKG 701
Im only worried the Dacmagic will mess with the signal since it always upsamples?

That's the reason why I did not buy the dac magic.
Instead I got a TCImpact Twin. But I have yet to finalize the installation thou.

Thanks for the link.
Actually, those posts are the reason why I bought a TC impact. But I'm still struggling to understand how to properly setup the device... Too many options that I do not know much about...
Edit: by the way, bayerische is very kind and he is helping me by providing with information.
Bought the Dacmagic plus, When you use digital in and spdif out it does nothing to the signal I found out! It also has an asynchronous USB so jitter is reduced before its beeing fed to the Beolab 5s. As a bonus you get a good headphone amp.
Will sell my TC konnekt 24
