Hi all,   I've been searching for many days, seeing many reviews and comparisons, but still can't make up my mind. So here is my situation: Just sold my Altec Lansing MX5021 and want to upgrade to something better.   Location: computer desk in bedroom Application: music 100% (rock...

Quote:   Thanks, but I don't know where to find cheap amps in Vancouver. Checked Amazon, eBay, and CL, nothing would fit my budget if anything came up. Do you know where I can get them in Canada?   And I don't buy Chinese brands no matter how good and cheap they are.   At this...

Quote:   I saw someone said T40 are actually not too bad for its price.   And I also heard BX5A is comparable to the Audioengine A5.   How do you like the Bose Companion 20?

Thanks for the suggestion, but I honestly can't stretch my budget to buy an amp. And I have no space for an amp on my desktop. Putting a pair of A5 size speakers on my desk will be my limit.   Plus, I still got to have some budget for a DAC.

Thanks guys. Right now I am also considering the Maverick D1, but I've seen many issues discussed about it on Head-Fi, what are your thoughts on it?

Yeah, I think it would be really nice to have volume knob. As far as I know that with a DAC the volume control on my Mac's keyboard will no longer work, correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks. How does it compare to the Nuforce uDAC-2? And I saw it on Moon Audio, do they ship to Canada? If not, where can I buy it from?

Thanks, but I don't have space for a bookshelf system. So I'm thinking about the A2, and wondering which DAC I should get and I could get in Vancouver.

Hi there, I'm super nooby to computer audio, I would really appreciate the feedback. So I've been running Altec Lansing MX 5021 for about 7 years now, and I feel like to sell them and upgrade speakers and get a DAC. From my experience my 2008 Macbook Pro's sound card is pretty crappy, Lots of...
