Well, while I am waiting around for Sandy to hit I got around to hooking
up the new Touch to the Audioengine D1 DAC and the A2s. I connect the
Touch to the DAC using an optical cable, and am listening to it now. I'm
very happy with the sound. The only thing I have to figure out is the
DAC...it doe
Here's a pic of the A2's onboard using my older Music Streamer - it's

Nice one cjfreitag, I use a pair of A2's when I'm working out at sea on
ships. Very small but they pack a decent punch. They sound really good
with my Macbook Air and HRT Music Streamer 2+, even when the big waves
start crashing against the ship in stormy weather ;)

Ok, I went to B&H yesterday to check out the A2 speakers. Fortunately
they had a set powered up, and while it was not the ideal listening
environment at least I was able to play some ALAC files off my iPhone to
get an idea of the sound. Well, I walked out of the store with a pair of

I think I have narrowed it down to Audioengine. I'll get the D1 DAC and
marry it with either the A2 or A5+ speakers. Why the DAC? It will allow
to use the speakers with my Touch (via optical) or my Mac (via USB). I'm
going over to B&H tomorrow to see the speakers. I think the 5s will be
bigger tha
I use a pair of Fostex PM0.4 on my office PC and they're pretty cool. I
do recording on it so they need to be fairly flat. Not really
punchy/deep enough to be fun on my kind of music, though.
Sticking with Logitech (yay!), this will seem a strange suggestion but
the (now discontinued) Z-2300 2.1

Yes - I guess the looks are mostly dictated by the all-aluminium

Good powered speakers including DAC are emerging now, it may be also a
alternative to consider.

Another (and perhaps) possibility would be a mini-amp, and some
suitably-sensitive bookshellf speakers.
Google for 'Class T' amplifiers to get an idea of what's available, if
you haven't come across them before.
