[QUOTE="rubaiyat, post: 1626886, member: 240393"] The iMac sound out port takes standard RCA cables and I have mine running out to my HIFi and get excellent sound. No issue to my knowledge. I'd worry more about the original file quality. I have converted all my CDs to Apple Lossless (ALAC) or FLAC so the quality remains unchanged. iTunes will need ALAC files, but there is plenty of software around to run all the modern formats. iTunes is confined to AAC, mp3, m4a, ALAC, WAV and AIFF (both uncompressed) but will freely convert between them. [B]XLD[/B] [free] will batch convert between formats, no problem if they are lossless. [B]XBMC[/B] [free] will turn your Mac into a multi-media player and plays just about everything. [/QUOTE]
