Yes, literally everything connected, but only the stuff used for gaming.
Hmm. I'm currently using the following system for both music and gaming:
passive floorstanding speakers: Klipsch RP-250F
power amp: Behringer KM750
passive preamp: Schiit SYS
audio interface: Behringer UCA202
Not counting the laptop, it's a little under $1,000 retail, but the price I paid was significantly lower since I bought the speakers used.
You probably remember that earlier this year I was using an (originally) $1,800 DAC (Chord 2Qute) with $300 speakers (JBL LSR305). That was a foolish combo. I downgraded to a cheapo DAC but upgraded the speakers and am getting the best sound I've had so far. (And that includes much more expensive headphones. Even the four STAX systems I had sound like a cheap toy in comparison.)
Really excited to delve further into the world of speakers. I believe you settled on the Fluance speakers we discussed some time ago?
I only game occasionally nowadays. Played through Final Fantasy VI a few months ago. Still need to play through the PC remaster of Final Fantasy VII (still my favorite video game of all time), which I have but have barely spent time on.
