Hi All,
I am trying to get a Passive speaker for my PC, after reading many forums I think I need help.
Background
I am currently running HD600 using the rear AUX port from the PC (motherboard: ROG Strix 2570-E Gaming with Audio SupremeFX S1220A). understand that the HD600 is 300omh, it seem fine, PC volume at 20 is more than enough for me.
My intention is to be able to switch from Headphone to Speaker on the PC. So everything has to be on the PC.
Setting up/ Buying Passive Speaker
I would like to add a passive speaker to my PC setup using the Optical or SPDIF from my PC because my HD600 is occupying the rear AUX port. I have tried HD600 with the PC front AUX port but the volume drop alot.
I am thinking of getting SMSL SA-50 Plus and a Passive speaker
Polk S20
Wharfedale Diamond 12.2
PSB Alpha p5
Elac debut 2.0 B6.2 or B5.2
Kef Q150
setting it up using the PC Optical or SPDIF> SMSL SA-50 Plus > Passive Speaker (is this setup okay? because the HD600 is occupying the rear AUX port)
Another question is if I were to get a Schitt Stack and a SMSL SA-50 Plus, How do I connect the Schitt Dac > SMSL SA-50 PLUS > Passive Speaker ( I am under the impression that I can do that after reading some forum from reddit/etc. How does this concept work? Because you already have a Schitt Dac and you connect it to another DAC/AMP (SMSL SA-50 PLU) and then to a Passive Speaker. Does it make the passive speaker sound better?
Another question is can I get a All in One DAC/AMP that can power the passive speaker and the HD600 using the PC as the source? if so my budget is around USD800 or under. Can the AV receiver/ Stereo receiver/ integrated amp be an all in one setup for my PC? I have read some review that I think they do....
if the above is not Okay, I am going to get the Kanto Yu6 / Kanto Tuk (has Optical) instead and forget about passive speaker as the setting up is to tedious, where I have been reading lots of forum and I dont seem to be able to grasp the concept.
