Lew, I imagine your Mac laptop has an optical output. You could use this into the Esoteric or the Denon DCD-A100 I recommended and not bother with USB.
Note: The Esoteric SA-50 uses the AKM AK4392 dac chip. That chip has been surpassed by AKM AK4399 which is in the much more expensive Esoteric K03 and K01.
The world-class AKM AK4399 chip is in the Denon DCD-A100, as well.
One Esoteric SA-50 owner modded his player to replace the AK4392 chip with the AK4399 and reported a massive upgrade in sound quality. See the link below.
