I would like to split my screen on my mac laptop to HDMI and to VGA. Is that possible with one device?

Essentially I want what is displayed on my Mac to have the ability to be separated on 2 additional screens. Is that possible? This is for work. Thanks

Can this cable be used to transfer digital audio signal to another divice like a DAC?

Can this Thunderbolt cable be used to transfer digital audio signal to another digital divice like a DAC, or a digital multi chanel audio-mixtable ?
(or in the future maybe?)

My main problem is that they have took the digital audio S/P-DFI away from the last generation Mac mini ;(
And there are no other digital audio ports anymore.

(PS: the hdmi port is used for my monitor. (but it have no audio)


and don't talk me about USB output. USB gave always digital distortion (Jitter)
As USB never have been build for this purpose.

Just wondering if this was true and if so, there was a firmware update coming down the pike. Don't want to waste my money on this cable unless it's going work well for Target Disk Mode. Thanks!

The standard cable on the Thunderbolt display is pretty short. Can I use this cable to extend it?

It seems that this cable is male-to-male only. Is there a male-to-female version?
