USB is only as quiet as the source, and computers are electrically noisy. I went from USB to Toslink and the improvement was immediate and unquestionable.

Can you explain how this is done, and what brand you recommend?
thanks for your help.

The analog out on your Mac is also a Toslink (fiber optic) out. Most Toslink cables come with an adapter. Use that and hook it up to the Toslink input on your Peachtree.
