Yeah, makes it really expensive for wannabe "pro-sumers" like me. Still, impressive design. The lack of upgradeability makes it a "no" for me, unfortunately. And since it's unlikely Apple changes their stance going forward, I might as well start looking at Windows machines. I had a nice 6+...

I'm having major problems when playing video, whether it be flash-based in a browser or a video file using QT/Perian, VLC or MPlayerX: general system freezes--video freezes, audio continues, system totally unresponsive to mouse/kb input; have to hard shut down by holding down power button...

I'm right-handed, but mouse w/ my left hand (due to some pre-arthritic condition, I think...too damn young for that, LOL). I use a Logitech VX Revolution, but miss the functionality I could get w/ the bigger Logitech models.

I'd miss SBSettings & some of the Winterboard functionality like WeatherIcon & changing icons/docks/wallpapers.

Not much of a "rig", I know, but having been jobless for some time has forced me to sell some things & otherwise cut back.. Sept. 2009 iPod Classic & Audio Technica ATH-ESW9a portable headphones... Actually sounds pretty damn nice (ALAC files only)

I still have a a Edge iPhone (8 GB)-- 450 anytime minutes, rollover, 5000 night/weekend Data Plan + 200 text messages/month my monthly bill with taxes, fees is usually around $72

I've had my 2G iPhone since Dec-07, and I've mostly loved it (jailbroken even though I'm w/ AT&T). BUT, it lacks in what I consider to be the most important function of a mobile phone/device--the phone part itself leaves a lot to be desired. Compared to my (backup) Nokia 6500 Slide, the...

No problem... Oh, and the other MF'er can take his self-important, superior a$$ & pound sand.:D

I've always felt the audio quality out from my MBP was pretty darn good... It got a lot better when I got my Apogee Duet though. :)

Crappy pic (I only have an iPhone, not much into photography), and it only shows a partial view-- Macbook Pro > Apogee Duet (DAC) via firewire > Music Hall a25.2 Integrated Amp > Hsu VTF-1 sub & Epos ELS-3 bookshelf speakers (on stands); also a pair of Denon AH-D2000 headphones on a...

x2... I used the 2.1 ProMedias for almost 5 years before recently upgrading to powered bookshelf speakers. The ProMedias are terrific given how cheap they are.

Hell, I'd like almost ANY Jerker...can't find them in my area. I know it's a philosophical question that will be pondered for ages, but why in the hell did Ikea find wisdom in discontinuing the Jerker?

Gonna be "on your way" outta here if you keep spamming threads w/ this crap..

^^^ That does look promising; thanks. Since the A5's are powered, I think I'll focus on a DAC first & foremost if I end up thinking it'll make that much of a difference. I think the MBP outputs "decent" sound the way it is....

O.K. so I just ordered the AudioEngine A5's (direct from the manufacturer website)... I do obviously plan on auditioning these when I get them early next week; just soliciting opinions on whether I "need" to get a DAC to put between the A5's & my MBP... Anyone experienced w/ these speakers...
