AUDIOENGINE D1 DAC WITH A2+ FULL

In this case it would go: output from the computer > DAC/Preamp > RCA into sub > RCA out to speakers. Like this one: Ģ8 Hz +/- 3 dB so not going to keep up with a Rythmik, but not bad, either. Today I don't want that bulk and wish someone made a DAC/Preamp with crossover capability, not just a subwoofer output that still sends full-range signal to the speakers.īarring that, subwoofers that take the full-range input first, then output a high-passed signal to speakers, can do the filtering for you. I have used one in the past with multi-channel analog out from my PC and a subwoofer but I was able to put the AVR on a separate table. Regarding receivers, some are great but not when you have to put them on a desk where the sheer size of it would look comical. Regarding the sub, I highly recommend one. I also wanted to mention that the vast majority of my listening is done without headphones. Of course, if the receiver isn't advisable, I'll reconsider the whole thing!ĮDIT: Wanted to mention that I use my computer for music playback (itunes) and video streaming (YouTube, Netflix). What I would need direction on is exactly what rear connections I'd need the receiver to have in order to successfully connect everything.

In terms of the DAC, however, would the purchase of a full receiver be a decent upgrade? If so, would it be best to opt for an A/V receiver or a stereo receiver? I like Yamaha products so would likely begin my search there in either case. I have been advised to consider a sub to help with that side of things, and I am looking into that separately. Generally, though, I find music (mainly rock/jazz) to be rather 'thin'. Part of the issue is an intermittent static issue through one speaker that I have been unable to resolve. Plugged into that are Audioengine A5+ speakers.

I have an Audioengine D1 connected to the MB via optical cable. I have a computer with an X570 Aorus Master motherboard. I am a complete idiot when it comes to audio, so please bear that in mind! I have seen one or two threads with slight deviations from my question, so apologies if answers already exist.
