Guys in desperation tonight I have used my JVC DVD to play some CDs. NO sorry no great revelatons, it basically sounds shite. However I notice it has an optical connection on it. Now in fairness I am a muppet on this type of techonology, it seems to sit in a bunch of connectoers saying video out. So I am assuming I can't connect the mac to it and play out via the stereo, i.e. a temporary dac?
