Hey all. I have a Mac Mini and an Xbox 360 S and I am about to come into a very nice amplifier. The amp only has one optical in though so I was wondering if i could plug the Xbox 360 S into the optical in on the Mac Mini and then just have the optical out going to the amp? If so will this affect sound quality in any way?

Thanks.

C.

The Mini is not an optical pass through device. Any output from the Mini has to come from an application program on the Mini.

Does the receiver have HDMI input? Most receivers in the past few years take in audio from HDMI.
