|
 |
So I'm having to take down my battlestation due to getting a larger bed.
So my 4 of these little book shelves
and 1 center
are going bye bye and being replace by a pair of these happy fuckers
The whole set I have now cost me like...400ish. The new speakers, cost 600 for the pair ^__^ and the kicker is, I'm paying nothing because some guy on Craigslist is trading me even! AAWW YYEEAAA

Badly. I think iwill wait some more. .. i need to get external sound card or something first... or d a c or something i don't k what even to search for.
Something that allows to have speakers and headphones attached at the same time and gives me better sound than pc outputs.
I want external sound card ?
Then new headphones. Then maybe speakers. ... After all i don't use speakers even as close to how much i use hp.

External Creative or asus cards also have box i which I can plug headphones etc etc....
I mean. I want better than realtek sound (disable realtek completely) and a means too plug headphones and speakers on desk. (like iwth that fiio or external sound cards)
(dac is jsut same as external sound card ?)
and NO !!! That fiio is soo god damn expensive and hard to get in Poland. fiio e7 is the only one common here

Bose is that Apple of speakers but worse. Only reason people buy Bose is because their bullshit marketing. I can get 3 times the speaker for less even with Polk and Klipsch |

Oh well if you can get the E7 fucking do it. I have one and I love it. I only mentioned the E17 because it's the newer big brother of the E7.
I use the E7 on my laptop for audio because the onboard sounds like a dogs dick blowing into a chinese flute. |

No, the normal PC 3.5mm jack output is analog. Your Realtek (of whatever your built-in sound card is) has a DAC on it. Every sound card has a DAC.
FiiO has external devices that are either amplifier only, or amp/DAC combined. For an external DAC (i.e. an external sound card) to work properly you hook it up to your digital optical output (the square output on your motherboard, or sound card. Usually has a red glow if you open it).
If you want proper sound you will want a good sound card (either internal or external), and an amplifier. The speakers we talked about in the other thread are self-powered, meaning they have an amplifier built in into them.
For headphones you need an external amplifier or a sound-card with a built-in headphone amplifier. THIS ONLY MATTERS FOR GOOD HEADPHONES. Shitty headphones don't need an amplifier. Just plug them into your sound card.
------
But speaking for your case. You are buying a cheap pair of 100$ speakers, and have cheap headphones. Your current speakers are running from your built-in Realtek soundcard (guessing). Your current speakers have an amplifier in them, and a headphone jack (meaning they amplify the headphones too).
So if you were to get your new speakers the only think you will be missing(since they don't have a headphone jack) is a headphone amplifier. However you don't need it for your current headphones - just plug them in your PC. If you are missing a volume knob, you only need a potentiometer: http://www.amazon.com/Koss-155954-VC20-Volume-Control/dp/B00001P4XH.
If you are sure you will get a better set of headphones in the future then you may consider getting a better sound-card with a builtin amplifier (either the mentioned FiiO or some internal ones like Asus Xonar U7). Getting a better sound card will benefit your speakers as well (although not much since they're low quality).
--------------------
And finally, if you ever decide to get a proper set of unpowered speakers, then you forget about amplifiers, DACs and soundcards, and get an audio-video receiver. This includes a DAC, headphone output, amplifiers for up to 7 channels usually and they offer great sound quality. Decent ones are pricey though.

Just because you paid a pretty price doesn't change the fact they're garbage..You paid for marketing. I'd you're going to have the mind set that price equals quality, buy some Bose or dre beats headphones

I spent about 2 months and countless hours researching what was best for me and the two options were either the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO or the Audio-Technica ATH M50's.
Also I started off thinking I would get some 'gaming' headphones and I didn't really buy in to what people were saying about them being crap, but then after so much searching I finally realised my mistake.
Edit: btw, leather cups make you sweat after hours of use.. Just something to consider.

Well the cups should be replaceable on most good quality headphones.
