The connections for outboard speakers on the computer are powered and will cause the extra hum through the already powered A2 speakers. For optimal sound quality, I recommend using an outboard DAC with USB or Optical connections. Place the A2s on stands for better imaging. You can extend the treble output a bit (some say the A2 are a too bass heavy) by lowering your A2 volume and ramping-up all the computer volume controls.

I have just got a pair of <a href="http://www.speakerstation.co.uk/audioengine-a2-speakers-in-black-prodid-1812.html" rel="nofollow">AudioEngine A2</a>'s here in the UK and love them to bits. I drive these speakers from my Mac and think they are not bad value. The sound is surprisingly large! Nice review thanks!
