Hello,
Admittedly I know nothing about audio I just want something that sounds really good.
I have a kef lc50 meta speakers along with an sb4000 sub. I have it connected to my pc where I’m playing music while working and games when not. Essentially I bought both the amplifier aiyema a70 with the 10amp power brick and the wiim amp pro from amazon(receiving this tomorrow). I mainly wanted the wiim amp pro to have a high and low pass filter for the subwoofer
Also for a headphone dac I have an element 4 coming from jds. I wanted to connect my element 4 to my computer via usb through this synapse adaptor then goes to my wiim amp pro through rca. Was planning to use the jds as a volume knob and essentially hiding the amplifier behind my desk.
I understand there are discussions I’ve read that running it through two dacs can create sound degradation.
Two questions is this setup reasonable if I’m using the synapse to help reduce distortion coming from the computer? How valuable is the high pass filter to offload the speakers(should I just keep the a70 mainly for higher wattage, although I don’t need it that loud since I’m sitting in front of my desk)? The whole system is a bit overkill just wondering if my solution with pc—>element 4–>wiim amp pro—->ls50 meta and sub makes sense.
Or should I just pay extra and get a Marantz m1?
