is there any advantage in going with the dragonfly over the audioengine D1? Its $100 more and looks almost to simple to me
-
is it better to get powered speakers or passive and then a small amp like a Audioengine N22. I was looking at Audioengines website and it looks like a whole setup from them would be in my price range. With the D1 dac , N22 amp, and P4 speakers is right at $600 or so. If i got a setup like this how would a sub hookup too it?
-
Is the dragonfly limited at all or will it be able to take on future upgrades later down the road? or at that point will i need i bigger and better dac? Also thanks for all the quick responses i already learned more in the last hour or so then the past week trying to find this stuff on my own.

What does the Dragonfly exactly do that my computer doesnt already? I was under the impression that if i use the optical out on my computer that is the same results as using a DAC

Hello, im very new to high end computer audio, i am looking to upgrade my very newbishly loud but not clear sounding setup. This is what i have: HP desktop with the Beats by DRE package, which i think just means i have an optical out plug off the motherboard Then i have an Altec Lansing 2 + 1 setup and on top of that i have 2 older no name brand boombox speakers coming out of the sub. I know its pretty embarssing sounding but i did it just cause it looked cool, but then it got me interested in a higher end setup. So i would like the best system as possible without doing anything to the computer itself I would like to spend around $600 or so but open to spending more if i would really get a better system The room that it is in is about 12x25 room but im going be sitting at the computer as i listen. Any help is greatly appreciated
