[QUOTE="krs, post: 1814748, member: 67742"] Jake, I'm not talking about a "spec page" - that is typically only one or two pages of a larger user manual. If Apple doesn't want to print one, they can just provide a small paper one and put the detailed one on line like many companies do. And tech notes don't cut it either - those should be supplements to a comprehensive manual. As far as this topic is concerened - at one point the Mac headphone jack did also have an audio in capability - I wonder when that disappeared. There were also some with a TosLink connection. But to illustrate my point - I just found out recently that the macOS includes a nice wireless analytical tool that one can access by holding down the Option key. There is nothing in any "spec sheet" about that. How is an average user supposed to know that unless one is lucky and finds just the right hits and uses the right google search terms. And then the tool itself, it turns out what Apple calls "Quality" in the Performance graph is really S/N ratio One shouldn't have to depend on luck to find that. [/QUOTE]
