i was wondering the same thing the other day about computer 
platforms.. (without getting into a mac vs. PC debate please...) is 
there any difference in the D/A converters of macs or various PC 
computers... or even between different mac models?

i can picture someone saying.. "oh, i use PC's because they sound warmer" :)

has anyone ever tested the various D/As of systems?
