sorry if this has already been posted but I checked around and didn't find an answer so i had to find out for myself.
Mac Mini running OSX 10.6 will not link up via fire wire to a Pioneer iLink receiver. Not a big deal as the optical works just fine but I thought it would be cool if it worked. cost me 5 bucks to buy the proper fire wire cable on e-bay.
BTW, I am running Decibel and it sound fantastic!
