Good day to all!
I'm new to these boards just registered yesterday. I am clueless when it comes to audio equipment and I'd appreciate all the help I can get.
I have a set of Polk Audio Monitor40's sitting in my room right now: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=82-290-203&SortField=3&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Page=2#scrollFullInfo
I want to connect these to a desktop computer running Windows 7 and bypass the integrated audio. I was going to purchase Topping TP30 amp/dac but as far as I understand that won't really work because the amp only outputs 10W per channel while the Polk speakers are rated 20-125W, thus making the speakers/amp underpowered which can damage them, right?

My budget is pretty limited and ideally I'd like to find something around $100 but there is some wiggle room. Also I do not intend to blast music as these will be set up in a small room and I usually listen to music at pretty low levels.
So could you guys recommend a dac/amp that will suit my needs and my price range?
And also if you guys have time could you tell me which cables/accessories I need to accomplish my objective?
Thank you so much.
