You will always depend on the 3200&#39;s preamplifier anyway, but this one is quite good already. </p> <p>I don&#39;t think the optical output is going to slow down your CPU.<img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/01.gif" alt="Smile" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/337009.aspxThu, 01 Sep 2011 13:43:04 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:337009Toby0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/337009.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=27&PostID=337009<p>Dear fellow Beoworldlers,</p> <p>I imagine this has been asked before so I apollogise for asking it again, but it&#39;s been a long while since I was on here last.</p> <p>How do I connect my MacBook running Lion to my Beosound 3200 without loosing to much of the &quot;quality&quot; of sound.</p> <p>Up to now I have been using the headphone socket but I have been told that is a big no no.</p> <p>I am told I should use the Firewire because this does not take up any resources from the CPU compared to the USB port.</p> <p>What are your suggestions?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Sadly I won&#39;t be able to enjoy the sound to much due to the neighbours so it does not have to be the platinum solution.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Any pointers greatly appreciated, Regards Toby&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
