So my A2's just gave up and I'm looking to replace them as quickly as possible. Only thing is they now offer the A2+... I'm only playing stuff from Spotify on my iMac, will I notice any difference from the USB connection vs using the headphone jack or is not worth the extra cash?

Personally, I would go for the A2+. That is, if you know you aren't going to be using headphones in the future, but if you are, get the A2's and instead save for a DAC/AMP combo.
