Mac Laptop & Sound Cards

O.K., I know I'm years behind but I just got a MacBook Pro laptop and a pair of desktop speakers. Have loaded hundreds of my own tunes and bought a couple hundred iTunes. I am retiring real soon and have always used company laptops but never was able to load any software, thus the new Mac.

I've read through a number of threads and am confused. What is a simple (and relatively inexpensive) way to upgrade the sound quality I get out of my Audioengine speakers? (Believe it or not, I have no idea how a souncard works or even where it plugs in.)

Thanks, people.

Soundcards are a PC thing. Your Mac is self-contained.

Are you unhappy with the sound you are getting? Which format are you using for the songs you have loaded from your own CDs? Remember that the songs you download from iTunes are lower resolution (I think...don't do much of it myself) than what you rip yourself if you are using Apple Lossless or .wav to rip CDs. If you are not using one of those formats, then start there to get better sound quality.

Congratulations on your imminent retirement and your new MacBook Pro.
