I see. That's definitely something to consider.

I've looked at them time to time. I'm considering the Auzentech X-plosion or the ASUS Xonar DX right now. How can I tell if they have a DAC or not though?

Do you mean the Promedia 2.1? I heard bad things about the DIN connector so I'm a bit wary of getting it.

Plug it into your sound card and leave the female end on your desk so that you can easily switch between your speakers and your headphones. |

Have you considered the Asus products of soundcards? I know the original question was about speakers, but if you get a decent soundcard with a DAC built in, will help immensely. |

All-in-all, if I were shopping for PC speakers today, I'd get the Klipsch Promedia. |
