I just bought a G4 Powerbook so I'm wondering.. Is there a better way to get quality mixdowns from my Powerbook than just going 1/8" headphone out to RCA left and right on my standalone Philips CD burner?
I'd like to get the best quality for a reasonable price.

I'm not at home to look at the Philips CD burner, it may very well have:

1-digital in
2- Optical,
3- RCA-SPDIF?

After inspecting the manual on my G4
the Powerbook has:

Audio line in/optical digital audio in port

Headphone/optical digital audio out port

PC Card slot

USB 2.0

Firewire 400 port

Firewire 800 port

S-video out port

DVI port

Thanks
