Hey Audiophiles.
I need some final advice for my cramped space. I tried the Kanto YU2 but they where way too boomy and the Audioengines A2+ are...just not enough. They cant cheat physics.
As you can see i need to fit the speakers behind and under the monitor while laying them on their side.
I favor the Dali Spektor 1 because they seem to have the best mix of small footprint, audio quality and price.
Favored measurements are 25cm high, 20cm deep and 15cm wide (<10" high, <8" deep, <6" wide). I tried to simulate the Q 3010i with a ruler but the 25cm deep are a dealbreaker.
Any other suggestions? Please keep in mind that i just have access to the EU market (im in Germany) so no fancy US only speakers and my limit is around 200$ for a set.
The speakers will be supported by a 12" sub.
With the DAC im completely lost. I favored the Loxjie A30 but since it seems it is rather subpar over USB i need some advice.
What i need:
+ good sound over USB (no optical on PC)
+ volume knob
+ enough power for the Dali
+ small footprint (it will go in front of the monitor stand in the middle)
+ sub out (Aux out for the sub would be bit awkward...)
+ internal PSU would be nice but no must have
What i don't need:
- bright display that distracts me while gaming (i dont really need a display at all)
- remote control
- headphone AMP
Would be nice if the thing costs under or around 200$.
Thank your for your time!
