raw0625I don't think you understand what I'm asking. How would you connect up an imac, a dac with an equalizer in it , an amp/dac combo and headphone. There are 4 entities here. how mshouldmthey be comnmnected - all of them?

eliotone1oh I think I understand what you’re asking now.
iMac would connect to this dac through the 3.5mm to the coaxial port or if it has an optical port you could use that too. Then you would use two rca wires on the outputs of this dac and connect them to the rca input on the amp/dac combo.

raw0625Hello Gentlemen. You can not connect a 3.5mm analogue output on a Mac to the digital coax input on this DAC since the Mac has already converted the signal to analogue when using 3.5mm output. I spent a few minutes online looking for a cable or converter that would go from the Mac's digital USB output into the DAC's digital input, but could find none. I believe this DAC is meant to be used with a CD player or CD transport - not a computer - and therefore will not work with your setup. If you are looking to employ an equalizer with your Mac, the least expensive option might be purchasing a 3.5mm (male) to stereo RCA cable, connecting the RCA output of this cable to an inexpensive equalizer like Schiit Audio's Loki Mini+ four band equalizer and then connecting that to the RCA input of your amp/DAC combo, assuming your amp/DAC combo has an RCA input.
Another alternative, if you want to bypass your Mac's cheap DAC and get better sound, is purchasing an inexpensive outboard DAC with a USB-B input (Drop's XDUOO MU-604 DAC is on sale and would probably be fine), get a cable with USB-A or USB-C (depending on which your Mac has) to a USB-B termination to connect your Mac (USB-A or C) to the outboard DAC (USB-B) (Audioquest makes fine USB-A to USB-B and USB-C to USB-B cables) then connect the DAC's RCA stereo analogue output into the Schiit Audio Loki Mini+ and connect the Mini's RCA output to the RCA input of your amp/DAC combo, assuming your amp/DAC combo has one.
