BOSS GT-8 Guitar Effects Processor as audio interface with Mac?

[milmorguy]

Is it possible to use a BOSS GT-8 Guitar Effects Processor as an audio interface with a Mac which uses the Core Audio driver?

I have read that ASIO, for example, is aimed at bypassing the Windows system and that Mac needs no such assistance.

The digital output from the GT-8 is EIAJ CP1201, S/P DIF phono, but I see adaptors to USB are available.

Thanks, Mike
