If it was an option, I have never seen it. Maybe a pci card option? Where is the scoring? I just looked at mine (albeit under my desk) and do not see it. The only audio jacks I see are a 3.5mm "headphone" that my powered speakers are plugged into, and a 2.5mm Apple Pro speaker jack.

You can see the rear panel's plastic overcoating is scored for the installation of a special connector, but without the actual DA output hardware, the rear panel looks just like almost all model of that era. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Guess where it said don't plug regular, non-Apple speakers in this port, is where I got a little questioning. I thought it said only use "Apple USB Speakers" ... which confused me ... a smaller than 1/8" plug for that port which I thought they said was "digital out". Guess its not S/PDIF as I see some of the later Macs apparently have now? One of the LEM DA pages actually skips mentioning the audio out ... just says there's no mic in. Using the Headphones Out to my desktop speakers is simple enough. Just additionally curious about the rest. Thanks.

Digital Audio refers to the onboard circuitry, not the type of output. The 1/8" jack that has a picture of the headphones is standard sound out. I run that straight to a pair of powered Altec Lansing desktop speakers with no problems.

DA Adoption
I've very recently adopted (...) a Digital Audio Dual 533, and am wondering about its audio out. Can't quite wrap my head (or speaker cable) around it. If I google "Digital Audio" ... well, you see what I mean. Anyone have any suggestions? References? I'd like to be able to simply plug my little external Altec Lansing amp and speakers into an 1/8 socket somewhere, but is that possible on a DA? Thanks.
