    Huh?! Is this just a test or did you want to know something about them?

    What are you using as an interface ? You're the only person I know who uses it.

    Just wondering how well it worked really.

    I use it alongside my Apogee mini-me inputs combined as an aggregate device. I have a Benchmark DAC 1 which has an optical input so it's good way for me to use it to get my digital signal from the mac into the real world. I did a bit of research (and head scratching!) and it appears to be a relatively under utilised feature for mac laptop recording set ups. I'm guessing it's because many of pieces of kit already have D/A/D over whatever protocol they are using. For me with the kit I had it was a no brainer.
