MacBook Optical I/O?

7rojo7 · 26th April 2010

How can I use this to record directly to and monitor directly from the MacBook?
Am I limited to 6in 6out?
Or is it 8? 8 would be better!
Is it TOSLINK?
Who makes quality products fo direct connectivity? No FW, USB!
Thanks

It;s s/pdif, so 2 channels.. You can only send 6 channels out as AC3 to a surround receiver, so only watching movies or something, not from Logic..
