Ok, after a bunch of time reading and lurking on a lot of forums/guides I came to the conclusion that I require help taking this decision. It will be my first time buying/constructing the audio system I want.
First of all the specs:
My entertainment room is about 8 x 13 ft, pretty small.
It contain a PC and a PS4 - both should use the same audio equipment.
My budget is around 350-400 for DAC/Amp/Passive Speakers/Monitors.
I decided that I require the Audioengine D1 because it has the Optical and the USB inputs(PS4 and PC), also later down the line I plan to get a good quality 32/250 Ohms Cans that can be driven by this guy. The other option would be the Topping TP D2 with the same characteristics but I haven´t heard a lot about it and a crucial points is quality because I will be ordering from the states to overseas and returns are a pain.
To the points:
1- Which DAC would you recommend me? Taking into account the other DACs mentioned?
2- Which one would you recommend me:
- Passive Speaker/Amp Combo with budget around $ 230 - 280. which ones?? Thinking of AMP: SMSLSA60/AMP100 and MiccaMB42X/BICAmericaDV62si/Fluance SX6
- Powered Monitors on the same budget. which ones?? Thinking of Audioengine A2 / Armotivs 4 / KRK Rockit.
Also the final build point is to have a 2.1 system(sub for later down the line and the cans).
Thank you all for the help in advance and pardon my english as I am not a native speaker.
