Hey all,
So I would like to upgrade my sound system. I will mostly use it with my MacBook Pro. I currently have a $30 cheapo computer speaker + sub combo. I have done a bit of research and have landed on audioengine powered speakers. So I am debating between getting either the A2+ with a subwoofer or the A5+ without one. I am also considering getting the audioengine D3 DAC to go with either set. Is a DAC really necessary? Since audioengine offers a 30 trial run I thought it would be worth a try. I am moving into a room in an apartment in Brooklyn, NY in a week so I won't have a ton of space but I'd really like to have good computer audio. What are people's thoughts? I could also be open to options other than audioengines if there are better choices in the same price range ($350-$400 +$150 for USB DAC)
Thanks!
