I saw these speakers have a built in DAC, however I do not see any USB input. Which input does it takes to the DAC? (RAC and AUX should be analog input which do not get through the DAC, I am not sure about optical and bluetooth though)

chiuks25I'm not sure about the speakers themselves but Bluetooth and Toslink are digital only signals... I would assume they need a DAC somewhere along the way. AUX could carry a digital signal if the output device supported it.
chiuks25chiuks25,
If you send the YU5's a PCM Stereo signal through the optical input you'd be utilizing the built in DAC.

KantoLivingI wish they have a USB input, so I can make good use of the DAC from my mac to the speakers
chiuks25Most modern Mac's will pass a digital connection through their 3.5mm port when using a mini-toslink cable, let me know the model and year and I can check this for you!

KantoLivingI'm using macbook pro 13" retina, what you mean is I can do it through a 3.5mm to optical cable?
chiuks25chiuks25,
That's correct. All Macbook Pro's can output optical from the audio port, all you'll need is a mini toslink to toslink cable to make it work.
