You can use a 3.5 mm to RCA stereo adapter to connect a headphone amp to your computer's headphone output. I have done this with my desktop computer and the Magni. Distortion is possible if the computer volume is set too high so you have to lower the volume. You will get better results by using a DAC such as the Modi to connect to your computer. You can connect the DAC to the computer USB port and then connect the Lyr to the DAC with RCA cables.

I use the Audioquest Dragonfly. This is a normal analog headphone amp. Either you plug it into the headphone jack, or you use an outboard usb dac. Either way you will also need a 1/8 mini plug to rca cable, as the only inputs on the amp are rca.

Albert, I purchased a Schiit Modi DAC, the upgraded USB cord, and the PYST cables to connect the Modi to the Lyr. I connect the Modi to my MacBook Pro and go to Utilities and select the Sound icon. When that window opens, the choice for Schiit USB is there. I choose that

Zoom in on small connector (at right). Compare it to the monitor output on your MacBook. Order it anyway if you're not 100%, return it if it doesn't work.

You need a computer interface between the MXL 990 and the MacBook Pro. There are lots of them available, but I have the ART Dual Pre, and I like it a lot. It can take both XLR and 1/4" phone plug inputs.

Am using w a new Mac Pro, but requires an ACTIVE connector ($100). Assuming similar set up would work for laptop.

you would connect an XLR cable from the MAIN OUT on the board to the input(s) on your amp. If your amp doesnt have XLR inputs, then you will need to buy an adapter or new cables. You could alternatively connect the amp with the 1/4 in output from the MONITOR or HEADPHONES, you could also connect it to the OUT on the RCA.

Use the power supply for the MacBook Pro. Yes, two outlets to power the computer and the Dock. Good luck!

I use it to connect a MacBook Pro to an eight year old scanner. Sounds like 400 >800 in this case

You need a cable with a 3.5mm stereo male plug at one end and two RCA male plugs at the other. The 3.5mm plug goes into the laptop's headphone jack. The RCA plugs will plug directly into the amplifier. Amazon sells this cable. By the way, the Yamaha is a great amp.

I don't own a macbook pro, but if it has a vga port, you can hook it up. If not, I believe you can get a vga to usb converter cable on Amazon and I think that would work.

you would need an hdmi cable if you have the newer macbook pro's with an hdmi input. Otherwise you do need a thunderbolt adapter for vga.

yes. you just plug into an available USB port and now you have an ethernet port ! my ethernet ports were damaged by lightening so I use this adapter now and it works fine on both iMac and MacBook Pro.

Patrick's answer is correct for some MacBook Pros. However, keep in mind that some newer model MacBooks don't have an audio line in, so the mic still won't work even if you buy the Y adapter.Do some research on your model to verify before getting the Y adapter. You can get a relatively inexpensive USB line in/out adapter instead.Don't waste your money on sennheiser's adapter if it won't work.Specifically, my 2013 MacBook Pro 13" Retina does not have a universal in/out, only out.

Yes. I have a MacBook Pro and have no problems connecting the two. You do have to have the wire connected. It doesn't sync wirelessly

The volume of the (line) input does control the volume of the amp. I set my volume on the MacBook Pro to 100 (full volume) and set the volume dials on the back of the amp to approximately 50%. I find that this setting will allow me to control the final output volume via my show control program (QLab).

Best option is to use a dac (digital to analog converter - schiit make a "bifrost" that's fantastic). Failing that you can go headphone 1/8th mini pin to left/right stereo cable from the headphone out of your Mac to the line In input on the back of the amp.

with the help of a XLR to USB adapter. check for the Blue Icicle. it has a built in preamp
