I have some DCA Aeon 2 Noire's coming and I know they need some power to be driven properly. I will mostly be using them at work with a 2018 Macbook Pro, and at home with a 2021 Macbook Pro. I understand MBP's have reasonable built in DAC's, so I'm wondering whether I need to go for an external...

I've always wondered how guitar "amps" measured. People have always said that they struggled with higher frequencies and that's why they don't have tweeters on them because they distort. Anyone know if there is any truth to this? Does it mean to say that the amplification on guitar amps are...
