So I started a couple of months ago looking into why my music streamed from the PC via BT to a pair of Edifiers SB1000 sounded so... Meh. Ended up looking stuff up on the interwebs, YouTube videos etc but the more I look into it, the more confused I get.
I'll basically have to redo my living room and probably unshelf a pair of smaller Edifiers for near field. I still need to measure things up but help me out here just so I have an idea of what can be done....
- Let's say I'll end up with a PC as source, two sets of multi-input speakers (Coax, RCA, optical and BT) and a pair of wireless headphones with a base/emissor that takes aux or topslink.
- no optical out on the PC and need to bypass the internal motherboard sound card.
- Now let's say I end up with the computer on one side of the living room and I don't want cables all over the place.
Right, so here are my questions:
- Worth upgrading BT emissor on the PC side and/or reception on the speakers side?
- If so, worth plugging a BT emissor to, say, a headphone output form a Dac on the PC side?
- Worth then bypassing the speakers amp and dac, get a BT receiver, plug it into another dac and feed them analogue? (I know, I know but it's just hipotetical... Or maybe not)
- How does the BT signal work on a computer? What does it stream? A simple digital signal or does it go through and processed by the sound card first?
There, simple...
