I know it was a long post and it may seem hidden in the text but I did state "WAV sounded a lot better than ALAC using only headphones out from my Mac.

I mentioned that I am not using the SB at this time, but I'll be sure to look into it when I can access it. In the meantime if anyone could field my hypothetical question I'd appreciate it: kphinney;188191 Wrote: > Why does WAV sound more crisp when compared to ALAC when played on the > Mac?
