Hello everyone!
I am new to this forum and I am a newbie in terms of audio systems. I have a pair of B&O H6 headphones and I would like to improve their sound and the reason is just because I am curious to test a DAC. I would also like to get a pair of speakers for my desktop computer and possibly connect both speakers and headphones to the same DAC. I don't mind unplugging the headphones in order to connect the speakers and vice versa ( I am saying this because the last pair of speakers I had, the HK Soundsticks had a 3.5 jack to connect to the pc)
Now, what would be best suited for my needs? I don't quite understand if I need a DAC like the Dragonfly or an audio interface like the Focusrite 2i2 or even an amp like the Onkyo a9010. As for the price, I don't want to spend more than £200 for a DAC/interface or amp, whichever I need.
As for the speakers, I am not sure what the differences are. I quite like the clear sound of the H6 headphones, so I was thinking that maybe to have a similar sound I could get some monitors like the Yamaha HS7, but I was wondering if stereo speakers like the Q acoustics 3020 might be better, or even the Wharfedale DS-1. So yes, I don't quite know what I am talking about speakers wise and I have no idea what the difference between stereo and desktop speakers is.
Thank you very much to everyone, I know you will be able to solve my problems and clarify my doubts.
