I've had an AudioEngine D1 for a while... it sounds lovely. If anyone is looking for an upgrade to their laptop/computer sound card and you already have decent headphones then I'd recommend one of these.

It's not perfectly neutral, it's a little warm sounding... but in a good way reminiscent of the warmth of valve amps. Once burnt in it's bordering on superlative, which for the price is pretty incredible.
I only bought it as it's one of the few things with an optical input that I could use to drive headphones from my Playstation 3 (so I didn't have to bug Felicity when I play games), but it turns out to be a much better USB soundcard than anything I've ever considered before, so I now use it mostly for music on the laptop.
