I currently have:</p> <p>BL5 connected with PL to Beosound 3000; I play MacBook Pro (MB) lossless audio via MB-audio-out and jack-to-AUX cable connected to AUX input of BS3000. Works fine. No obvious sound difference between a CD played on BS3000 or via (lossless) MB Audio. But understood the jack connection may harm the BL5&#39;s upon disconnecting.</p> <p>Based on earlier threads, I intend to connect my MacBook to the BL5 directly via MB digital out, and BL5 digital in, so that&#39;s what I&#39;m still wondering about:</p> <p>1) Do I (only) need&nbsp; a Toslink-jack adaptor and Toslink-coaxial converter and 2 coaxial cables, or also that &quot;sync&quot; cable?</p> <p>2) is it correct to assume that I simply can/must continue using Option 0 ? and volume control is via the PL connected BS3000 ?</p> <p>3) since the MB audio connection is then fully digital: does that mean the MB audio to BL5 quality is actually better than the original CD played on the BS3000 which are connected via PL ??</p> <p>thanks in advance, its not all that obvious to me I must admit!</p> <p>Rene</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
