I was under the impression that what he needed wasn't the 8th inch, but was
the square shaped optical connection. That's why I said I didn't feel this
would be impossible, but that it probably would be a little tricky. If that
port is digital, then I guess after all, you won't need a converter. All
you'd need is the adapter.

Hi,
The iMac has a combo digital/analog output through the headphone jack
similar to the one in the Airport Express. So, as long as you have the
adaptor to go from the 3.5 connection to the digital connection, it will
work without an issue. These adaptors can be found through Amazon and many
other places. You want a 3.5 mm to TOSLink converter which can either just
be a small 3 or 4 cm long adapter or can be a cable with those connectors at
each end. I found one for about $6 Canadian dollars earlier this year. I
think it cost me as much to ship as the silly adaptor.
HTH.

OK Greg, What type audio connecters do we have on the back of the IMac?
Let's start there.
You probably can get an adapter. The only concern though I'd have is, you
might also need to get a converter. The reason is because you will need
some way to convert the analog signal from the IMac to a digital signal.
I'm an audio engineer, so if you'd like to write me off list, I'll try to
help you further.

Hi list,
I have a 2015 iMak 5K and I would like to connect it up to my Logitech T H X
speaker system that I have via a digital optical connection. Does anyone
know how I could do this? There isn’t a digital output on the back of the
machine.
Greg
