[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1626783, member: 234411"] Well, I believe that the question is the 'quality' of the sound emerging from the built-in speakers of the Mac computer - mediocre @ best IMO, as already stated in a previous post; now, using the audio output on the computer and cabled to a decent stereo system, then that is entirely a different listening experience. Now, as to 'surround sound', not really a possibility w/ just a R/L RCA channel connection which is standard stereo; surround sound is at least a 5:1 speaker setup - HOWEVER, I'm not sure if that headphone output on my iMac (spring 2013) can accept an optical adapter that might output more than a 2-channel signal - others would have to 'chime in' w/ comments and advice (and I'd like to know myself).
