It connects to your Mac or PC via USB (cable included) and acts as an external sound card. This is Audioengine's 24-bit Digital Audio Converter - or DAC. I wondered why the clarity and top end of the A5+'s seemed a bit lacking all of a sudden, when I had previously found them to be pretty darn good. But after the review we hooked the speakers back up to my laptop using an external hybrid microphone DAC. Now we reviewed those speakers earlier this year and for our listening tests I used various source components, including an iPhone, a Blu-ray player and the stereo outputs of an A/V receiver. The rounded anodized aluminum case of the D1 reflects traditional Audioengine design and the audio fidelity is typical of Audioengine's commitment to great sound at an affordable price.I didn't realize how crappy the preamp was that I was using to feed my AudioEngine 5+ speakers.
