Buy a 2010 Mac Mini instead, they sound much better than the MacBook. I have tried both. The Mac Mini is much quieter and has much lower noise floor. The power supply in the Mac Book has to power the screen which makes the MacBook noisy by comparison to the 2010 Mac Mini. Check out www.mach2music.com these guys know their stuff. I have one of their modified Mac Minis and I have not been able to find any CD player at any price that even compares to the Mach2Music Mac Mini.
Macbook to USB to which one?
I'm taking my first venture into computer based music. My main system is described in the system link. I have not had much computer experience and I want it to be easy and painless. I plan on using iTunes AIFF, and also HD Tracks.
Which is the best way to go? USB to HRT + II music streamer, or USB to Musical Fidelity V-Dac, or, USB to Cambridge Audio DAC magic. The output of the selected DAC will get fed into a McIntosh C2300 auxilliary input via rca/rca audio cables.
Thank you for any and all assistance,
