Hello
Planning on upgrading my sound equipment for my computer and I could use some suggestions and feedback.
I live in Denmark, so most of the equipment that I have seen being recommend around the internet isn't available to me, unless I want to pay very high shipping costs and high import taxes. I mainly play video games, watch movies/YouTube and listen to music, like 40/40/20, used to be 40/20/40, but lost the passion for music along the way.
The products I am planning on purchasing are the following:
Headphones: Fidelio X2HR
Currently wearing: Astro Gaming A40 (not TR), so will consider this as a big upgrade. Don't really need a mic, since I have a blue yeti, which has served me faithfully for almost a decade.
Speakers: Edifier R1280T or R1280DB. Budget 150 USD / 130 EUR.
Currently I don't have any, and haven't had any for over 10 years.
Haven't really decided anything yet, open for 2.0 and 2.1 system. Don't want to spend to much, since I will most likely only use it 10-20% of the time, when I am tired of wearing headphones or when I want to continue to listen to something when I leave the computer. Connectability with Google Home would be nice, but not something I priorities.
DAC: Fiio E10K Olympus 2 or FiiO K3. Budget 150 USD / 130 EUR.
Never owned any, so no idea what I am going into. I basically want something to that makes it easy to switch between headphones and speakers without negatively impacting the sound quality, but possibly enhancing it.
