Hi,
please allow me to preface that I'm completely illiterate about sound equipment - in the past I've usually bought what came recommended and while I listen to music every day I don't really listen to it - it's more used as background noise while I'm working :|. Hope you can get past that.
My office speakers died on me and I've been reading these past days on what to get and that's how I came to find about this great forum.
Here's my current situation;
Thank you

My office speakers died on me and I've been reading these past days on what to get and that's how I came to find about this great forum.
Here's my current situation;
- office (room is 7 by 13 feet)
- looking for active speakers(unless there's dac & amp combo to drive passive), ideally white and as small as possible
- they will be connected to PC (SupremeFX S1220A)
- I'm also looking for dac, mainly to achieve the following
- more accessible volume control as it would sit in front of the keyboard
- more accessible headphone connector. it would be nice if dac had physical output switch
- headphones in possession; sr80, akg k271, ath m50
- option to connect chromecast audio sometime in future
- living room currently has
- chromecast audio (only input)
- yamaha as500
- monitor audio bronze 2
- here I'm wondering if I'd benefit in adding dac. not sure of the benefits - just thinking out loud here
Thank you
