A USB DAC will output an analog signal. If the Mac has an optical output, you could use that.

No, you can use multiple stereo analog inputs. Each source has a stereo analog input that it can use. There are some separate menu items for the 7.1 analog input (there's only one of those) and the XLR stereo analog input (there's only one of those, as well), but those are special cases.
