I have been thinking of adding an external DAC (with a mini-to-Toslink cable) to my chain, primarily motivated by the information found here. It may have to do with the much larger sampling rate with the headphone out, i.e., 32-bit 96kHz vs 24-bit 48kHz (bluetooth), which can be adjusted on the Audio MIDI Setup. I compared it with bluetooth connection, but the direct connection sounded louder (i.e., more power as a lower volume) and slightly more clear to my ears. I hooked up a 3.5 mm stereo aux cable from the headphone jack of my MacBook, which is directly connected to the Audioengine's A5+ wireless speakers using the RCA inputs. I have been using my old MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, early 2013) exclusively for listening to music streamed from iTunes.
