Whats the best way to do it? Plain old computer speakers just dont cut it. My friend has a PC with an optical out to a receiver then pumped to real speakers and a sub. Is there any way I can do that with my new ti-book? How about my 450 G4?
My mac is connected using RCA plugs to a Kenwood 350Watt amp driving 2 PolkAudio RT3000's and a 500Watt self-powered subwoofer. But that's not all. I also connected 2 outdoor Boston Voyager speakers for awesome sound in my backyard. My beige G3 has built-in RCA ports, but you can buy a miniplug to RCA adapter. Consumer optical technology is still overrated. Analog is perfectly capable of 48Khz sampling. Why not include 128Khz optical technology with all new computers? The technology is out there and it's not that expensive. I'll answer my own question; because humans CAN NOT recognize the difference between 128Khz and anything above it. The audio market will hit it's limits. No new technology = no money, which is bad for business. The good optical technology is in theaters like IMAX domes. That stuff is so cool. 11 channels plus 4 subwoofer channels... *drool* :eek:
how does the PowerWave work? has any one tried it? Does it go 1/8th jack -> PowerWave -> speakers... or.. USB ->PowerWave -> Amp -> speakers or some combination. How does it sound?
This is exactly why my beige G3 still kicks ass. Probably the best tower Apple has made. I mean its got RCA ports and AV ports, room for floppy, zip, and 2 full drive bays.
