I have two USB audio inputs for my iMac: an external CD/DVD burner and a Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100 DAC.
That DacMagic is quite an impressive device but it has the audio going the wrong way for me. I should have explained better. My challenge is that, like many other iMac users, I cannot send analog audio into the 27" iMac via a 1/8" plug-in on the back of the machine because Apple stopped providing that kind of input. I'm forced to send it into a 21" machine (which has an 1/8" plug-in) for digitization and then re-send the product to the 27" via Bluetooth.
Therefore, what I'd like to do is: Plug my analog output (on a 1/8" plug) into a device that would digitize the signal. That device would have an output acceptable to an input on the 27" iMac, like a USB.
