I have a new MacBook Pro 2018 and (if someone has mentioned this please forgive) the DAC has been downgraded from my old 2014 model and the multi-channel TOSLINK output is now gone for good. Probably not an issue for most since the Thunderbolt 3 (NOT the same as USB 3--uses a different but identical looking cable) is very powerful and capable and opens the door to, among others, Universal Audio's new Apollo interfaces which are spectacular. DAC chips are cheap. The ESS Sabre chip in a $1000 Yamaha integrated amp goes for $10 or less if you buy in quantity.
