[OPTICAL MINI TOSLINK TO TOSLINK CABLE] Mini 3.5mm Toslink/optical cables will NOT convert digital audio signals (optical/Toslink) into analog signals or the other way round. This is not an analog to digital converter cable. OPTICAL cables will NOT plug into standard 3.5mm headphone jack and convert analog audio signals into digital audio with optical light. It is specifically used to transmit digital (optical) audio only.[COMPATIBLE DEVICES] The optical 3.5mm connector mini TOSLINK cables are made for specific devices such as iMacs, TVs and Notebooks that have a built in 3.5mm OPTICAL port. iPhones/smartphones do NOT have optical 3.5mm ports[PREMIUM FIBER CORE AND METAL CONNECTORS] Low-loss, low-jitter, maximum signal transfer, precision polished fiber core eliminates RF, EM, and ground loop interference. Metal connectors dampen vibration[24K GOLD-PLATED FERRULES & STRAIN-RELIEF PVC JACKET] Resist corrosion, reduce tarnish, and provide maximum protection for the fiber tip. Quality PVC jacket contributes to the OD5.0mm strain-relief construction that not only provides flexibility, but also protects the cable from kinks.[LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY] Includes a Limited Lifetime Warranty

> Can a Modi 2 Uber play from an iPhone?
Yes, but see notes below.
> Is there another DAC that can?
Yes. Pretty much any USB DAC [1] can be made to work with an iPhone, you'll need:
However, if you're using a Modi 2 Uber, I would not connect via USB, as it's massively inconvenient when compared to the alternative, which is buying a refurbished Airport Express and a Mini Toslink to Toslink cable. You then connect the Airport Express to the Modi 2 Uber via the Toslink cable, and you use AirPlay on the iPhone.
The AirPlay will for an iPhone yield the exact same audio quality as a wired connection, since AirPlay/AirTunes is a lossless protocol.
---
[1] Meaning any USB DAC that conforms to USB Class Audio specs. Most consumer-level DACs do.
If this is a headphone-out jack with optical capabilities (often found in premium laptops) you need a Mini TOSLINK to TOSLINK cable.
Edit:
SPDIF port for audio. You can buy an adapter fiberoptic cable that accepts the signal and can send it to a surround sound system. I think you can connect like a 5.1 surround sound system to your macbook pro this way.
The cheapest I would go would be this Dayton bundle. If you can spend an extra $15 or so and make this same combo with the Dayton B652 Air speakers instead, that would be even better. Otherwise, you could also get the Dayton B452 Speakers with that same amp as the cheapest solution, but that 4-1/2" driver isn't going to deliver the lows like the 6-1/2" will, so really splurge for the larger size if you can. You likely also need a this cord if your TV has analog audio out. If it has Optical audio out, you will need this cable instead.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
This FosPower (6 Feet) 24K Gold Plated Toslink to Mini Toslink Digital Optical S/PDIF Audio Cable with Metal Connectors & Strain-Relief PVC Jacket https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00T8HWV62/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_-SlKAbRZ5NEQQ connects the Chromecast to the optical input on the DAC-x6. Then you just plug the 598s into the DAC-x6. Note you’ll need a streaming source like Spotify or Tidal coming into the Chromecast. There likely is a way to make it work with a media server, but I haven’t looked into that. Note that you control the Chromecast from a phone or tablet, or likely from a Chrome browser. If you want to try a different op amp (amp rolling) in the DAC x-6, I’ll be glad to gift you with one. Feel free to ask questions if needed.
just this SPDIF cable
The S/PDIF port on your computer looks something like this:
http://www.electronicshub.org/types-of-computer-ports/#SPDIF_TOSLINK
It may also look like a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Check your computer manual to see which digital audio outputs are available on your computer.
The optical version of S/PDIF connects to the digital in on your xDuoo with a cable like this:

(The gold does nothing because it's an optical connection.)
The coaxial version of SPDIF connects using a 3.5 mm mono or stereo patch cable:

Looks like this should do the trick!
No but I did look online and I found one that plugs into a 3.5mm jack https://www.amazon.com/FosPower-Toslink-Digital-Connectors-Strain-Relief/dp/B00T8HWV62/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1503454129&sr=8-4&keywords=optical+input+cable
This one? https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=44_567&item_id=133312
Plus one of these cables?

I would rather not get a shield if this can do it for 1/3rd the price

Yes.
If this is correct, shouldn't this cable work?

Do you think this would work ?

The new SMSL AD18 has two optical inputs, one of them is 3.5mm style that you need an adapter, I will link at the bottom.
 
An additional option that you may consider, put a SoundBlaster Recon 3D or SoundBlaster Z sound card in your PC. it has an optical input and an output, and can pass your PS4 through to the DAC/AMP, as well as mix PS4 and PC sound to play both simultaneously. I use this so I can use PC to watch netflix/twitch or play music while I game on xbox.

> I can't even connect the Mojo Chord to the iMac
Why not? Both take USB, and your mac also likely puts out optical through the headphone port; my MacBook Pro does.

Not sure if this is the right sub, but maybe you could find an optical to aux cable or converter. Here is Amazon's choice for that assuming you have something to connect the aux to.
