Hello all...
I recently acquired a black Macbook for college and absolutely adore it for the most part. Superior software, great speed and a tiny portable package. HOWEVER, compared to my nano/tomahawk/e500 setup it sounds pretty horrible.
**
I plug my e500s into the headphone jack. What are my options to make it sound sweeter? It has a digital out...would my Tomahawk work with that with a mini to mini or would I need a different type of amp? I hope not because after buying the Tomahawk and now Macbook I can't go spending any more money. I am just spoiled with the sound I'm getting out of my main rig and this Macbook sounds lousy compared to it. I just would love to have access to my entire music library on the macbook when I have it with me and not have to carry the nano around.
Thanks in advance for the advice.
Edit: I want to clarify that I mean that in comparison to my Tomahawk/Nano rig, the macbook pleases me less. It's not like it sounds like trash!
