- If the dac in a MacBook and Cerwin Vega made you happy, that’s all there is to it (enjoy the music).
- if curiosity got the better of you, get on Facebook, find a audiophile group local to your area and invite yourself to a few guys’ houses. Audit their rigs. If you audit a few rigs and feel that your rig sounds good enough, i.e., you are not missing anything sonically, that’s all there is to it (enjoy the music).
- But, if you audit a few hifi rigs (obtain a few different points of reference) and now your rig suddenly seems less enjoyable, you could look into improving things a bit.
For example, I get the feeling that this (following vid) is how most Cerwin Vegas tend to measure. You could always diy/mod it and make it sound better since all internals are built to a price point. DIY is also a good way to learn about various technical and economic matters, keeping things affordable, etc.... when you’re starting to explore things in hifi.
