Hmmmm

No Grant, I hadn't thought of it..

The iMac has the following
 
 Line In:
  Connection:   Combo
  S/P-DIF Out:
  Connection:   Combo
  S/P-DIF In:
  Connection:   Combo

I think that the 3.5 mm jack also has S/P-DIF built in (I believe it detects 
the presence when in use). In the real world, what is needed to get from the 
702 into the iMac in this way?
