This is what i am trying to accomplish so im looking for some good music experience from like spotify youtube etc.
For my gaming system now i game using headphones so not worried about using the sound set up to game with.

So this is what i have in the way of speakers and subwoofer i have two t15 polk audio speakers and one polk 10 inch powered subwoofer the psw10.
i have had thease a while and they do work.

now i have not tried them but i bought the Fosi Audio DA2120C HiFi Dac for the speakers a speaker cable connection the unit has usb connection to go to the pc.
Then for the subwoofer i got the Fosi Audio M03 200 watt TPA3255 sub amp.
So i guess i can use rca cables to the DAC unit from the sub amp for the sub? maybe i did not need this but i can always return it i wanted this so i could adjust sub level on its on.
I heard Fosi Audio was decent stuff decided id try and give them a try.
But maybe the product i bought were the wrong things might not be happy with the sound and performance?
hopefully i did okay with the purchase if not i can always return or cancel and get something different

So looking for other suggestions incase this does not pan out
im not really wanting Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection because windows 11 Bluetooth isn't very stable
Plus with this being a stucco house and metal lave wire under the stucco sometimes those connections dont work the best.
im going to need a usb connection dac unit and something i can connect a sub and 2 speakers to.

anyway dont flame me too bad for what i bought lol
maybe help me out here
i seen a brand caught my eye doing some more searching Topping?
looking for a fast response i go back to work in a few days trying to get stuff ordered an set up before i go back out for a month

The PSW10 has an Amp and volume knob built-in, so the Fosi M03 serves no purpose. You can adjust sub levels directly on the PSW10.

If you don't need a solution right away, then it may be worth waiting for Fosi's new Amp with a pre out for your sub and a high-pass filter for your main speakers:

If you want something right away, then I'd buy the WiiM Amp.

You may not need its Bluetooth and WiFi capabilities, but it has bass management and Parametric EQ built-in, which are powerful features for creating a good playback system.

If your PC doesn't have Toslink output then you can add one with the Hifime UT23.

Also, a UMIK-1 is highly recommended for sub integration and room correction.
