I am starting to get serious with audio and want a little more than the stock system can produce.
What exactly does that mean? Do you like to LISTEN or CREATE?
If the former, you're kinda out of luck. The Mac OS isn't the best platform for multiple channel audio support. IIRC, the Mac OS ( < 10.0 anyway.) supports only 4 channels, so 5.1 surround isn't possible. The best bet for low to mid range output hardware is a SoundBlaster LIVE PCI for Mac if you can find one. Pretty rare and relatively worthless (though still likely to cost you a few pennies).
If you want to create, try looking for cards from DigiDesign or Emagic. They aren't cheap, either. There are no real mid-range audio input cards for Mac.
