Hello,
This is my first post here and I am a newbie in audio science, so I would like to apologize in advance if I use any incorrect expressions or phrasing.
My very old audio system recently broke down, but the 4-Ohm passive speakers are still functioning well, and I'd like to keep them for now.
Over the years, I've come to realize that I only use my setup to transmit signals from my PC to either my speakers or headphones. So I'm not looking for any extra features such as Wi-Fi.
In the future, I plan to upgrade my headphones and speakers, and I would like the new system not to be the limiting factor.
My room is 15 square meters, and I usually sit about 1-2 meters away from the speakers.
It's crucial for me to easily switch between my headphones and speakers, whether with just a press of a button or through a conveniently detachable and pluggable headphone option.
Would you suggest an integrated DAC/Amp or separate devices, with a budget of up to $800/750€?
Thank you in advance for your help!
