Now that Apple has upgraded the built in DAC chip in all new Macs, does anyone plan on adding a Mac to their audiophile setup? I don’t know the chip manufacturer yet, but Apple Support indicates the DAC will support up to 96kHz files. I love my Cambridge Audio DAC, but I could see a Mac Mini replacing it in the future.

    That would be a strange reason to buy a Mac. Most audiophiles will use the USB out to an external DAC.

      Most audiophiles will use external dac because the audio through jack sucks on most laptops. Here it is not the case so why not.
