I have some newbie questions:
I have a silent PC with Asus Xonar D2X soundcard and Logitech Z623 speakers and want to upgrade it. My os is linux.
I thought to substitute Logitech speakers with passive speakers, one pair of the following:
Audioengine HDP6
Klipsch RP-400M
Klipsch RP-500M (these are very good but too big for desktop speakers)
Elac Uni-Fi 2.0 Bookshelf Speakers
Elac Uni-Fi Slim Bookshelf Speakers BS U5
PSB Alpha P5
and amp NAD D 3045.
I would like to ask:
1. Do all these speakers combine well with this amp?
2. Would it be better to add a DAC or is it not necessary?
3. If it is not necessary, should I use the DAC of Xonar D2X or take the ditital output of Xonar D2X and use the DAC of NAD D 3045?
4. Could you please suggest a pair of the above (or other) speakers? I need them to listen to different kind of music mainly from tidal and will put them on my desk on the left and right of my PC screen. I think max height should be about 30cm.
