I have a MacPro. Is this USB interface a good choice to play audio/music from the Mac to studio monitors and use to check sound levels?

I'm using it on a desktop and it is great for that. It's made to be fully Apple compatible, so it should work for you. I've had my Mackie mixer for fifteen years of shows and home recordings and it's never let me down, so I think the Mackie interface is a safe bet.

No - I have a new Mac Pro, and it provides the sound - not the Dell 4k monitor

Yes it is. Just plug it in and it will just work, just like a mac :) Drag and drop the sound files to wherever you want. It really is that simple.

Absolutely. I use it with Mac OSX. You may have to go into the sound pane in system preferences and select "USB" for input and output, but it works beautifully.

Yes, certainly. It is a USB device and will use one of the USB ports. It is a DAC (Digital to Audio Converter) and at $20 provides MUCH better sound than the one Apple builds into its products. I had a problem with the fractious headphone jack on my MBPro and found this a perfect solution. I've moved to a MacMini and still use it rather than the headphone jack. The sound quality alone is worth the change.

Yup the ultra studio works perfect for that... But just remember u need a thunderbolt port in your mac!

Yes, I have ours fed into two Sharp 70" led panels and the HDMI audio feed works through both panels with no issues at all. The room has its own audio so we don't run the sound on the panels, but the option is there and works. Did you get all the way into the sound settings on your mini? I'm not a Mac whiz, so I don't know exactly which steps you take, but there was more than one until we saw the HDMI choice. Actually the Mac is a dual boot to win7pro and it works on that operating system too. I can't stress how happy I was when I got my hands on the accell adapters, passive adapters just plain screwed me around in circles!

You could technically use a 3.5" to Rca cable and take the signal from the headphone/audio out jack on the MacBook. This would not be ideal, but would be inexpensive. Best way would be to use a usb dac such as the schiit modi or a fiio d3.

First of all, I'm not familiar with those units that you mentioned above. But I can most definitely say that i use the Audio box interface with my mac mini and all my Logic plugs ins, and it works beautifully. Prior to this unit, I had the MOTU ultra interface which had a lot of glitches at a cost of $600 plus dollars and a lot of headaches as well. But the audio box sells for $100.00, and I think that it does handle vocals as well. So give it a try. Frank

It will not be as noiseless as a higher-end pre-amp or A/D interface, nor will it have as much gain as a dedicated pre-amp. It's a more fast-and-dirty solution than a home studio centerpiece. Chose instead a dedicated USB audio interface if you need studio quality, but if you're just doing youtube voiceovers, it'll sound fine.

I just plugged it into my Mac, switched to the USB sound device and they work just fine [: Didn't need to install anything

It works really well with Mac OS X - no issues, no special drivers. Just plug it in and it becomes one of the 'audio out' choices.

Am using w a new Mac Pro, but requires an ACTIVE connector ($100). Assuming similar set up would work for laptop.

I use it with a mac - it sends standard midi controller messages over usb to either platform.

I find this M-Track unit works great with my Mac - recording bass and guitar directly into Garageband. I only have been recording one instrument at a time, so I didn't have a need for the 4 inputs that the Behringer unit has.

I don't have a Mac but I have had no problem using it on my PC. I just plug it in and it does what I want it to do. Maybe it can't go between the two.

I use this on my MacBook Air all the time and it works perfectly. You don't need to install any drivers. Plug it in and 10 seconds later you can use it as an audio input and output device.
