    Looking for great PC nearfield speakers that can play low-quality sources (Spotify & YouTube)

    Can someone just give me 2-3 options of nearfield speakers I can plug into my DAC. What's important to me is when the volume is at 0 nothing is coming out of the speakers. I was going to get the genelec 8030c but some people complain of a noise coming out of the speakers when volume is 0. Maybe...

    Is it possible to make a solid-state amp sound like a tube amp? PC>DAC>Speakers setup

    Well that's a bummer. I have heard of people using the 906's nearfield and liked them. But I guess that's not "ideal" conditions for these speakers. I can probably get them 3-4ft away from me if I put them behind my desk. Would that make that much of a difference?

    Looking for great PC nearfield speakers that can play low-quality sources (Spotify & YouTube)

    Already do both of those. the type of music I listen to must not be produced the best. EDM & Rap. For example, I currently have some good quality headphones DT 1990 pro's. When listening to (Deadmau5 - Strobe) it sounds amazing. But like 50% of my discover weekly playlist songs don't sound...

    Is it possible to make a solid-state amp sound like a tube amp? PC>DAC>Speakers setup

    So I'm looking to get a new PC speaker setup. I currently have: Focal Aria 906 speakers ADI-2 DAC fs These aren't really near-field speakers but I could try to make them work (2-3 feet away from me). I really like the sound of tube amps. I was considering buying a willsenton R8 to pair with...

    Looking for great PC nearfield speakers that can play low-quality sources (Spotify & YouTube)

    lol hey man im just trying to find a good-sounding speaker where I can enjoy high-quality sources but also low-quality sources. It's my PC speakers... Most sources on here are low quality. I'd say 70% of what comes out of my speakers are going to be low-quality sources since I mostly watch...

    Looking for great PC nearfield speakers that can play low-quality sources (Spotify & YouTube)

    So I can EQ low-quality sources to sound better? Like sometimes with my headphones I get a crackling or distortion sound from YT videos that I wouldnt pick up on my Klipsh speakers (since they were lower quality)

    My Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 just died and I would like to upgrade to something a little nicer. I currently have an RME ADI-2 DAC that is connected into my PC (for headphone use). Since I have this DAC I am looking to get some computer desk (nearfield) speakers to plug into it. I like a warmer...

    Would a WILLSENTON R300 (8w) output enough power for my Focal Aria 906 speakers?

    I keep hearing raving reviews about the WILLSENTON tube amps. Would a WILLSENTON R300 with an output of 8w be enough to power for my Focal Aria 906 speakers? Or would I feel my speakers need a more powerful amp? The other option from WILLSENTON is the r8 which outputs 25w. The r8 on paper...

    Will Focal Shape Twin plug directly into my DAC and that's all I need?

    I currently have a RME ADI-2 DAC fs that I use for my headphones. I would like to replace my desktop computer speakers with two Focal Shape Twin speakers. Would I be able to plug these speakers directly into the DAC and be done with it? No amp needed because these are active. I'm new to...

    POLL: Should I go focal aria 906 (passive) or Focal Shape 65 (active) for desktop speakers?

    I would be spending $700 more to get the focal 65. But then I also wouldnt need to spend $1000~ on an amp since the 906 is passive. So in the end the price would be similar. with probably the 906 costing more since ill spend more than $700 on an amp. I do like the idea of flexibility with the...

    Is it possible to EQ warmth into sound via DAC? (speakers: Focal Aria 906)

    Im buying a pair of Focal Aria 906 and currently have a RME ADI-2 DAC. I'm researching different amps with prices from $500 to 2000. The more expensive ones giving I guess a more desirable sound. My question is, since I have a really nice DAC, can't I just EQ warmth into the sound so that it...

    Which amp to pair with Focal Aria 906 speakers? (I also have a DAC)

    This is my first setup so Im not sure if I can research the correct product just by the brand name. Someone on reddit recommended a Yamaha A-S501 to me. That seems like a solid choice. Do you know of any other solid amps at my price range that I can compare it to?

    Which amp to pair with Focal Aria 906 speakers? (I also have a DAC)

    After a ton of research, I think I'm going to get a pair of Focal Aria 906 because I can get them for a good discount ($1,000), and they look and sound great. I also have a RME ADI-2 DAC fs that is a really high-quality DAC I would like to integrate into the setup. So now I'm looking for a...
