It isn't a matter of wanting to improve on the Mac Core Audio set-up - it has worked wonderfully well for the last 3 years. It is just a matter of trying to correct a sudden degradation in the sound quality over the last two weeks. The problem lies within the Mac itself, not my other equipment, so I am making the assumption that there is a glitch in the basic Core Audio portion of OSX. My thinking was that an external sound card would "go around" the internal Mac and once again restore good quality sound.
Maybe others have had this experience??
