It does :)

I have a pair of Creative speakers on my MPX1Z (forerunner to the DU1A)
and they sound rather naff - and they are almost the top of the line (Sub,
2 speakers, digital I/O etc on them). I will definitely be upgrading at
some point soon. They do the job, but the quality is nothing like good
enough really - they sound great on commercial pop CD's and orchestral
stuff, but when you put a piano sound through them they have lots of bass,
lots of top, and a really really funny mid range that makes the sound
really tinny.  My JBL EON15G2's sound quite good though but are a bit big
to have in the house :)
