I did go to the Slate VSX system last year and figured out how to use it on a Mac without adding the VSX plug-in to Digital Performer or Logic—disliked the fact that I had to remove it from my DAW before bouncing. Of course, this means that it works for BIAB, too.

I still prefer to do my rough mixes on my (unfortunately discontinued) Equator D8 IIs with a JBL sub but for the final mix and mastering, I've been very happy with the VSX and found the $499 well spent. That they are extremely comfortable to wear is icing on the cake.
