Nice - I didn't realize the Dared had a DAC built in. Very nice simplified set-up.

The smaller Fostex drivers are a real treat with respect to detail, midrange coherence and speed. I used Omega Super 3 for a few months and still have not heard a quicker speaker to date.

Nice system. I like the smaller Fostex drivers as well. Excellent budget minded system nicely put together.

A good suggestion IMO, that should significantly improve playback would be to look into an external soundcard like the EMU0404USB or a USB DAC (MHDT Paradisea+, Benchmark DAC1USB). The analog outputs on the Mac are far from optimal. I use a Mac Mini or Macbook, Apple Lossless files feed into a Benchmark DAC1 USB (alternatively a Wavelength Brick USB DAC).

What Mac are you using?
