MAC & VSA Synergy?

I have been interested in trying some Mac gear & was wondering about the synergy between Mac & VSA 4jr's. I listen to rock exclusively. I am looking at the higher powered Mac's that are available in the used market for about $2,000.00

You can also find 30 trials on the new Nuforce amps. I would go that route, or buy gear used that you not have to take a loss on.
I did an in-home comparison between the NuForce and CI Audio D100. It was interesting and fun. Pardales makes a good suggestion.

Aball, I posted my results in another thread. You can do a quick search for "NuForce" and probably find it. Porsche is to NuForce as Mercedes is to CI Audio D100. Make sense?

I prefer my KT88 tube amp to both.

So what other choices are out there besides one of the new digital amps? The Pass amps always get high praise, how are the newer ones? I noticed they have more power.

Fishwater: I just received a new Pass Labs 250.5, driving my 4JR's. I cannot report specific findings yet as I have a lot of breaking in to do on several parts of my system. But, I will post some comments in a few weeks.
