Dac Amp Imac AE5's
So I have a 2010 iMac connected to a Firestone DAC and a pair of AE5's which you probably know are self powered speakers. I also have a Headamp AE 2 just sitting around doing nothing. Is there a way, and would it be a benefit to, add the AE2 into the mix? Just a newbie question.- ibis99

Decibel Music Player for Mac OS X (was AyreWave)
Not sure what I think of Decibel just yet. It's no longer free which is fine. Its available thru the Mac App Store for $33. Right now I'm using a 24hr free trial but havent had much time to listen. My first impression is wider sound stage and more defined instrument seperation than itunes. ...- ibis99

My First Pair...Grado SR80i
I just ordered a pair. Im reasonably new to audiophilia, and up to this point I have only owned canal phones. My favorites are my um3x and Ety er4s. So how will these compare to the Grados?- ibis99

Review: Firestone Fireye II headphone amp - full metal amp
Quote: I just received my Fireye 2 today and am going to use it on my AE A5's as well. I'll be running from a PC. Is it safe to assume that it's simply plug and play? Also will it work with a Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard?- ibis99

I Need A DAC...
I asked this question in the Computer forum but never got a clear answer. I just purchased a set of Audioengine A5's. I'm running them from my pc laptop thru the HP out, which as you know is not the best way to go. So I've decided to purchase a portable dac, but since the A5's have an...- ibis99

Need DAC for Audioengine A5 - No Amp Required.
I was looking to get a portable DAC for my laptop in order to run my Audioengines. I was interested in the Nuforce uDac, but Im not sure how well this will work since the Audios are powered speakers and the uDac has an amp. Any suggestions?- ibis99

HeadRoom BitHead or Nuforce uDac
I'm in the market for a low cost quality dac. The two that seem to fit the bill are the Bithead and the uDac. Although reviews of the udac are promising there is a recurring comment thru all that mentions a imbalance between the right and left channel. This is most unappealing to me. So...- ibis99

nuForce uDac: Easy as 1,2,3?
So I'm not that savy when it comes to computer audio. With that said, I'd like to think that the uDac will work on my Macbook Pro and that it's as easy as plugging it into a USB on the Mac and then plugging in my speakers to the uDac. Does that sound right?- ibis99
