Ipad Pro 2021 USB-C to Toslink audio out

Is there a way to connect the USB-C output from my 2021 Ipad pro to the digital in of my receiver (prefere Toslink above SP/DIF). I’d like to play Hi-ress lowloss audio from apple music on my NAD amplifier. Preferably without a DAC sins te NAD has already a very good DAC inside.

I only don’t know how to get a digital audio stream from my Ipad Pro USB-C connector.

iPad Pro, 12.9-inch, 6th Gen, Wi-Fi

Hello S_Doornewaard,


We found the following details for connecting your iPad Pro to an external audio source: Charge and connect with the USB-C port on your iPad - Apple Support


Play audio

To play audio on your iPad, you can use its built-in speakers, connect to AirPods or other Bluetooth devices, or use AirPlay. You can also use the USB-C port to connect to USB-C docks, displays, audio interfaces, or wired headphones that have a USB-C connector.

If you need to play audio through the USB-C port to other speakers or headphones, connect using the Apple USB-C to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter (sold separately).


You mention wanting to listen to lossless audio from your iPad on your amplifier. We though the following information would be useful for this too: About lossless audio in Apple Music - Apple Support
