Right now I'm using a 10 year old set of Bose companion II desktop Speakers. At Higher Volumes they get some crackling, and I'm not an audiophile or anything but it sounds like there is alot of leveling at mid-high volumes. Could i benefit from a DAC/AMP? Or would i just have to buy a new speaker set? I tried this $80-$100 Logitech 2.1 system, but found the audio quality completely unacceptable and returned it.

What do you mean by leveling? at around 100 i would wait for a bit, save some more money and get a set of powered 2.0 speakers.

LTT's Resident Porsche fanboy and nutjob Audiophile.

 

Main speaker setup is now;

 

Mini DSP SHD Studio -> 2x Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC's (fed by AES/EBU, one feeds the left sub and main, the other feeds the right side) -> 2x Neumann KH420 + 2x Neumann KH870

 

(Having a totally seperate DAC for each channel is game changing for sound quality)
