What is the simplest method for taking audio out of my iMac to a HT receiver/amp? I've seen that Apple TV and Airport will handle the task but I'd rather not have another piece of wireless networking equipment. I'm looking for a wired solution. Can I run optical cable that long? Also, I'm not sure where to plug in the optical cable on my iMac.
I also would like to be able to have audio in the room with the imac without turning on the receiver and amp. Is there a way to split the optical out of the imac to drive some local speakers? Local amp required? Ideally those local speaker could also be driven by the main amp too when the other zones are on.
I sure hope it makes sense.
Thanks
