I am considering upgrading my Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 GMX setup to some of the Audioengines, probably the A5+. I have a mid 2011 iMac and I am wondering if I should bother getting the 24-bit DAC as well?

Alternatively I was going to just upgrade the 2 satellites with P4s and keep the sub, but the 5+ are appealing as I can probably get away without the sub these days (or even just run a wire to my HT sub)

I have the A5s and prefer it with the D1 DAC. I've noticed that sound output from my rMPB or iMac can be a little noisy, which is fixed with the DAC. Also, it acts as my headphone amp as well.

I'm looking for a device that would allow my to easily switch between speakers and headphones on my desktop. I'm debating getting some m-audio m40s to pair my headphones.

I have an Audioengine D1 DAC that acts as a headphone amp too. When you plug in headphones, it automatically disables output to the speakers.
