I am getting some ear time on my new STAX 404 LE / SRM 600.

Heres my ? as I have a RCA TO MINI cable i listened to my macbook the last few days...and it sounded ok...then I hooked it to my U2 Special edition Ipod...that has been in the closet for a year... and to my ears the ipod sounds much better?

Im researching a dac...but im just curious if anyone else has the same experiance. with a dac free source macbook v ipod.

The 5G iPod is regarded for its sound quality, as a portable player that is. So I am not surprised that you find it to do a greater job than the MacBook.
But hook a great DAC up to the MacBook and the iPod is no longer a match.

Great Stax combo you got there.
