Hello,

I recently bought a Mac Mini (2018) to be used as a source of hi-res video and audio.
To listen to music I used to connect the source (a Mac Mini 2014) to an external digital-to-audio unit. Thus, I need Toslink/Coaxial output.

Since Apple dumped the SPIDIF connections from the last Mini, I bought a USB-C to Coaxial cable (image below).

Unfortunately, the Mac doesn't identify the device. I was expecting "USB" or something like that, but nothing at all.

Is there something to be done or the 2018 Mini's gonna dump my DAC?
