Hi, new member here. I've lurked around a lot and finally decided to join. Anyways, I'm looking to upgrade my speakers from the Samson studiodock 4i monitors I have right now. It'll be solely for my desktop computer in a room about 17x13 in size. I listen to all kinds of music, except country really. Also I can't have too much bass...I've already got some noise complaints. I'm really looking for nice, clear sound.
Right now the Samsons are directly connected to my pc through USB. I currently don't have a sound card in my computer. So I'm looking to upgrade my audio system with about 300$, but I'm flexible on the price if it's a vast improvement.
I know I want a dac or amp (what's the difference?) so I can upgrade later on if I want. Would I still need a sound card? And also what monitors should I get? The audioengine a5's seem nice but are a little pricey. What would you guys recommend?
Thanks
