Have been searching Agon/Craigslist for audio bargains and this is the result. DacMagic handles PS3 and MacBook, perhaps I shall invest in better speaker cables as well.

Very nice system; $$$ well spent! You don't mention what sources you are using (CD, MP3, etc.). I have found that the DacMagic is pretty good at improving the sound of lower bitrate source material although perhaps that is not unusual for external DACs. I suspect that the Profils would benefit from some extra distance from the side and back walls but, as we all know, what is best for audio reproduction is not always what fits in our living space.
