MBP 2011 Audio headphone output quality is SUPERB!

[CopperX]

I found the audio digital-to-analog converter in my Macbook Pro 13" to be much superior to the output of the MBP 2010! I still have to do a blind comparison between a professional-quality converter, but the audio sounds GREAT on my Grado headphones, compared to SO-SO on the MBP 2010.

Has anyone found this too?

Interesting - does it use different hardware?

I doubt it, it's using Intel Integrated Audio, although it could be a different implementation? I don't know.
