USB-C to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter not working on Rotl sound system

I want to connect the iMac to my sound system in order to use it as an audio output.


Purchased a USB-C to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter to connect the iMac to Rotl sound system and the jack is popping out like it won’t push in properly, it is too small for the jack to keep intact.


The optical cable works fine but not this adapter.


The Rotl is using a DAP system.


Is the iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019) compatible to the Rotl sound system?

google the adapter and share the web link using the little chain icon.

There are USB to optical adapters that might work, such as:

Do you have a Rotel system? Some of them have USB inputs.
