Just be sure to take the completely offline. Not still in a jukebox. Back in 90s the ISP I was using got hacked and all data wiped to include the backups. Why because the tapes were still in the drive and they mounted them and deleted the data. Same issue with offsite replication of hard disks if those also get hit same problem. So move the tapes to that shoe box under the bed.;-)
The headphone jack on most macs is also a digital audio out (S/PDIF, TOSLINK). This provides a HIGH quality digital audio out of the mac. That can be run into other gear.
Computers to include large data centers run on DC power at the machine level. BIG datacenters like Facebook and Twitter have custom racks and servers that do not have AC power supplies. The Racks are fed DC power and that is distributed to the machines. Now most of the DC comes from a AC source be this lets them put together a high efficeny AC-DC converter. They can also use solar power directly. AC power advantage is when transmitting over long distances. DC power requires superconductors to be transfered over long distance without LARGE losses.
