They are surprisingly capable! (M1 Pro ver. in my case)

Great separation, clean treble and actual mids (bass is meh)

Skip the dongle, just save 10x the amount and get one of the macbooks!

If you don't care about the Apple ecosystem, a non-Apple laptop and a DAC/amp stack of equivalent power and quality will likely set you back less than a MacBook.

Yeah but then, a macbook is still a macbook, and macbooks have been kicking ass for the past few years, the audio side of things is just a nice cherry on top

Although i do prefer windows to macos

Out of curiosity, in which way do Macbooks kick ass?

[–] NoTeasForBeastmaster@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

In soldered-SSD way in which all of them eventually die.

Heavish chunks of seemingly solid metal do quite nice ass kicking
