  The Macbook is an old C2D with the noisy headphone jack (Computer Noise) and it will only do 24/96 on the optical anyway.
I've a thin optical cable coming in so it might be feasible to carry, but I'll probably just stick with the USB.

OOOH this was driving me NUTS. the midi app would HAVE an option for 192 in the dropdown but automagically switch back to 96 if i tried. Thought it was my cable..then i bought a more expensive cable (DAMN IT!)..then i thought i was going crazy. Geez thanks for the info btw. Also: generally optical over usb cuz usb is noisy..their optical is WORSE. Noisy is noisy, my MBP's optical not just introduces noise or artifact but changes the sound to be more tinny and thin..not sure how that happens but yea. (honestly i think quite an impressive feat of engineering, managing to make a digital medium port THAT terrible).

I haven't put in an IEM ones since the Meze 99 Classics arrived.



I'm sure in a few days I'll get lusty for the U12 again. But right now, I'm enjoying the honeymoon period with my new cans.

When the brain/ears hear a different signature (different headphone etc) it firstly determines if (you) enjoy it, if so new toy syndrome sets in. Because the sound is entirely different and new, upstairs becomes completely entertained. After about a week it will settle down and your real opinion will be formed. Regardless it's fun.

I know. It is fun while it lasts, though. :cool:
