I use iTunes 8.1 to play music - often as a CD or a CD ripped into iTunes as an Apple Lossless file.
I don't like the Macbook headphone out into an amp, so I always use a DAC connected to the Mac USB or optical output (same jack as headphone, but with an optical cable).
I use any of the DACs in my review here: USB DAC/amp review
I most often use the iBasso D10 with it's built-in amp, or a Pico DAC-only feeding my Travagans Red (for stats via speaker out) and ALO Amphora amp, or my Apogee mini-DAC feeding my full size amps.

Do you ever run a usb directly to the amps your testing? Im asking cause i noticed you mentioned a DAC before you started the review so im wondering if mac > amp sound bad. |
