I'm wanting to get an audio setup for my iMac. I could just get a Logitech 5.1 system or something like that, but I want to do it differently. The iMac's audio output is either stereo or optical, and I've got a spare Onkyo receiver with an optical input that I can use. My only problem with that is the size of the receiver, and the heat that it puts off. Is there a small amp, or something similar, with an optical input and 2.1(or better) sound? And that doesn't put off too much heat? I'm hoping to keep this a little inexpensive if I can. |

How about buying a most excellent headphone amp and a superb set of headphones to go with it? That is a small set up whose sound quality will exceed anything you can put in the room, itself.
No heat, either. [img]http://www.ar15.com/images/smilies/icon_smile_big.gif[/img Headphone.com Headphone Amps Headphone Selection |

While I'd never discourage anyone from owning a nice set of cans, those headphone amps reek of a solution in search of a problem. |

The thing is, his iMac may not have enough "juice" to run the "cans". If that's true, the amp will solve that problem for him. |
