Hello all, I'm a new one to the forum here, not necessarily new to audio but most of that experience is in basic home audio. Some of this newer separated components stuff makes my head spin with options, so here I am looking for advice.
First off this is for a PC setup, second I would like to use the speakers listed, but if it comes down to it I'll reconsider.
Currently I am using an FX-Audio DAC6 MkII(or something like that). While it’s decent, it’s thin and has a horrible noise floor for IEM’s, also my old Logitech Z323(?) from like 2005 are dying off. I need new speakers, but I’m not going the old route. I was planning on a set of these powered speakers 3, but my desk arrangement just doesn’t have the space for them.
So sitting in my closet is a pair of these old Realistic speakers in silver.
What I was planning on was the SMSL stack seen here
Does anyone have suggestions?

- I know I can get RCA to speaker wire cables to attach the speakers, but I don’t know if that stack will have enough juice to drive the Realistic speakers.
- I will want to add a sub at some point, but that SMSL stack doesn’t have a dedicated sub output.
- I need be able to use my IEM’s without the horrendous noise floor of constant buzzing at all volumes, like my current FX-Audio does.
- I’m open to a smaller set of powered speakers instead of the Edifier’s, but that seems to be one of those things that if you go any smaller it’s craptastic desktop speakers.
