Best way to connect a Mu-so Qb to a Mac for the best sound

Posted by: Wils on 26 November 2017

Hi,

I want to connect my Mac by cable to my Qb so I can use it as a sepaker for the Mac as well as wirelessly.  What is the best way to do this?

Thanks

Wil

You should be able to set up Airplay as audio output.

Hold down the Option key on your keyboard, then click on the speaker icon in your menu bar. You will then see a list of audio output devices, including any Apple TVs or AirPlay speakers on the local network ... which should include your Qb.

Alternatively you could use an optical cable (mini TOSLink from the headphone jack) if supported.

I use airplay too. For the relative quality of both components, connecting via a cable isn't worth doing INHO

Yup, definitely Airplay would be my choice - it allows a wireless connection with no loss of quality on 16bit material.
