Audio Bliss and Just a Little Bit MoreĪs someone who’s constantly on YouTube, there’s one thing I frequently notice. Good audio is just as important if not more important than great video. How was that? Probably pretty terrible, right? Think about the last time you watched a video on YouTube where the creator obviously shot the video off a pretty high end DSLR, but decided to use the integrated microphone for the audio. Yup, and because audio is so important to our computing experience, that’s why today we’ll be reviewing the Audioengine 5+ speakers and the Audioengine D1 DAC. For those unfamliar with Audioengine, Audioengine is a relatively new player in the computer audio industry, but the guys behind the name are definitely not new to the audio industry itself. In practice, this only applies if you're planning on connecting it to a phone, either with an OTG cable for some Android phones, or the Camera Connection Kit for iPhones), you'll need a powered USB hub. After spending many decades developing high end studio monitors, the founders of Audioengine decided to create a speaker with studio monitor level quality for the home audience at a reasonable price. If you're planning on using the D1 with a device that can't provide enough power to the DAC. Those interested in learning more about Audioengine, be sure to check out their website here.
