hi, so i'm buying the Logitech Z-5500 speaker system, and want to connect it to my macbook. in the user guide document, it says that it has a "headphone out/optical digital output port" with my old system i just plugged in the green cable to that. but for this system i can use an optical out. i was wondering if this was compatible and what the quality difference was. TIA

Yea, plug the digital optical cable from the speakers into the port on your MB.

but doesn't the cable not fit in there?

It should fit if its a standard toslink cable

That's a Toslink adapter that should cost you about $5.
