I just bought a new PC and tried to do a lot of research to see which one would be best for music production. I wanted to buy a Macbook Pro but didn't have the budget because I wanted money leftover for VST's, Controllers, speakers etc.
The first thing I noticed however is that listening to music on it, even through headphones, just doesn't seem as clean as my old computer or even on my phone. Additionally, putting the computer on max volume with my headphones plugged in doesn't even come close to the max volume on my phone with headphones.
I didn't really understand if computer models affected playback through external hardware like headphones and speakers, can someone shed some light on this for me? Is this the real reason why people choose Mac over PC? Does this actually affect quality, or just volume? Is there anything I can buy like a new soundcard to improve the sound from my PC?
Thank you in advance!
