Well,  did you mention which of your Mac you'd like to connect to the  
amp?
Not all Macs have optical out, but all have a mini-jack output.  
Depending on how far your Mac will be from your amp you could look  
for an amp with Toslink inputs to use instead of the normal mini-jack  
to RCA cable. I think the max length for Toslink cables is 20m.
Other than this small detail, I also think none.
Of course you won't go wrong with the design (not to mention the  
sound) if you go with Classé amp if you want to use a mini (and a max  
amout of dineros).
