Re: Laptop recommendations

That doesn't seem to make any sense to me... USB is digital data.  Gets 
fed into a converter which then sends an analog signal to a 
preamp/mixer/poweramp stage.  I'm unaware as to how the laptop could 
affect the D/A converter.  The digital signal would have to have the 
noise embedded in it... no?  Does anyone know about this?  I cleared up 
a noisy internal sound-card on my mac by just putting a transformer on 
the output.  (it's cheap you can buy them at radio shack, they're made 
for car stereos but work fine for this problem)
