so how is that gonna work? We gotta wait in the parking lot till 7am then everybody run to line up? That seems like it will be crazy

Wow. That many people showed up at Penn?

Nice.

Too bad the store isn't in Crossroads. All the teenies would have had to wait until tomorrow. :D

Ugh... Guess I'll drive in that way tomorrow. I have some other stuff to do anyway.

I typed "crappy mac" into Bing and Apple's store was a sponsored result. :apple:

I clicked it so Apple could pay Microsoft for the click.

That's funnier.

From what I understand, high impedance headphones came about in old studios. The main advantage is that you can run many headphones in parallel (on tube amps). I guess it would all come down to power transfer, the amp acts as a load in itself in a way, and if the headphone impedance is really low, you won't get a good signal as most of the power will be dissipated in the amp.

But most modern D/A end with an opamp, or at least I'm guessing the one in the macs do. It's certainly not tube. As much as opamps probably don't have the sound quality of tube, their output impedance is very low. So there shouldn't be a power transfer problem. So I'm guessing that noise shouldn't be a big problem. Sure the voltage in the high impedance will be higher, thus there should be a bit less noise, but really, that's nothing compared to having a cheap D/A stuck inside a computer. Also there shouldn't be a problem with the frequency response.

From what I understand, tube amps have a higher output impedance, so they can have a hard time with certain low impedance headphones.
Apparently, there's could be a difference in sound as there's a bigger magnetic field, so possibly better control over the diaphragm. But I somehow doubt that high impedance headphones will make a macbook pro sound magically good.


I could be totally be off, I never came across high impedance headphones. Kind of a cool thing to think about.

The only issue would be if you need to access the book side-by-side with your work. This isn't a problem for me because I have 2 large screens. If you only have one smallish screen, then this may be an issue. Unless you have an iPad and can view the book on the iPad while you work. ;)

This was one thing I thought of, but the bulk of my work is done with my MBP tethered to an external monitor, so I have the space for it. I eventually plan on getting an iPad (though by the time I have the money, it will likely be an iPad 3) so I figure that would be awesome to be able to keep all my programming books together at all times.

I'm open to as many opinions as possible, and I appreciate the comments!

In my view I don't see a problem with apple telling us more about this product.

Well that's all well and good, but what do you want us to do about it? Nobody who knows any further info is willing to talk.

Where is it?

yeah but thats pretty high

Bump an old post shall we?
