Isn't thread drift wonderful?   All DACs don't sound alike, but they should. Seriously. A DAC is a source. Its job, its only job, is to convert digital data to an analog waveform that looks exactly like the analog waveform that was originally converted to digital data. It shouldn't have an...

Quote:   I think that's as good a summary of the Apple v Windows debate as I've read. All it misses is the "building a Hackintosh" part of this discussion. We could have skipped about 10 of the last 18 pages. Personally, I would consider a Hackintosh if I thought I could really go buy the...

    Quote:     It was sincere. Personally, even if I could run OSX hassle-free on a Windows laptop, I'd be tempted to pay the Apple premium for the screen, the touchpad, the rigidity of the case and the hard drive that locks the instant it detects motion, but I suspect all of the...

Hybrys, I think I owe you an apology. I got the impression that you asked a seemingly open question about why people chose Macs, then immediately started to argue against and put down whatever answers they gave you. I thought I saw someone trying to draw opinions just so he could take shots at...

Yeah, if they don't get over all those short-sighted business strategies, sooner or later they'll have a year in which they only get, you know 200% growth or something...   Tim

      Quote:   Do you mean you are GENUINELY concerned, or do you just have a broad, non-specific concern over the fact that everyone else in you chosen field is so much dumber than you are?   Tim    

  Quote:   You're absolutely right. Everyone in your chosen field uses Mac/OSX and you can't figure out why. Enjoy being the only smart guy in your class.    Tim  

    Why did you start this thread again? Because you thought you might consider a Mac even though you're already running a Hackintosh and you've already made up your mind? Can you say trolling? You uncover yourself.   Quote:

Quote: I know it's a bad idea; I was being sarcastic. Hybrys came here asking Mac people to justify the cost, and claiming to have an open mind. Then he proceeded to only listen to the pro Windows arguments, and made it clear that he has already decided to build a Hackintosh. He only came...

Quote: An excellent analysis that cuts through all the Mac vs Windows BS that this thread is full of and that was clearly the intent of the OP.   Tim

Hybrys, I think you should go to your local computer discounter, pick up the cheapest netbook on sale that day, then take it home and install OSX on it. Think how impressed all the other kids at school will be when they see that you accomplished, for $300, what they paid $1200 for! You will bask...

Zoltan,   I own those headphones. They are not the "weak link," they are efficient. And what that means is that they don't require a lot of watts or current to do their best (I'm listening to mine directly out of an iPod Touch right now, and while it's not as good as my Senn 580s through an...
