Peter,

How did you connect your DacMagic to your sound system? Did you use a DIN cable (?) to an AUX input on your B&O system, or is there a better way?

Thank you!

Eric

I used an optical cable from the PowerMac to the DAC Magic and then a phono to mini jack into the Beoport.

Thanks Peter...

Would you consider the Beoport necessary, or would similar functionality be achievable by just controlling the Mac (e.g. with an iPod touch) and connecting the DacMagic output directly to a BeoMaster AUX input? Sorry for all the questions!

Kind regards, Eric

I was in B&O store today its such a magical place. I think i will go for Beosound 1. It does enough for my ears and i got a fair offer. BL3 are a bit over the top for me mainly because i listen to mp3 format.

Now im thinking to connect Mac directly to BS1 aux. Any opinion?

The advantage of the Beoport is that I can listen to the music all over the house. I can control with either a Beo4 or an iPod Touch/iPhone.It also has Beolab 3s attached to it and acts as a separate music system. It would work the way you want though.

Thank you Peter,

that is clear. I never managed to wire up the house! With hindsight, this is actually a nice excuse for having different (vintage) sound systems in different rooms, so I don't mind leaving it this way!

But I am considering to connect the (soon to arrive! 🙂) BV8 to an Apple Mac Mini, and hook it up to the BM7000 to enjoy i-tunes library and online content over the sound system. For this, the DacMagic seems indeed a good option.

Thanks for your feedback! Kind regards, Eric

Is it possible somehow limit sound output from mac that it plays just sounds from itunes. Airport express does that but i want to connect mac and Beosound with wires so i dont need AE.
