[Need help with speaker set-up]

I've recently purchased a pair of R1700BT Speakers from Edifier. Arrives tomorrow and I just noticed, it doesn't have a optical in to plug into the PC. & I rather not use bluetooth. I'd like it to be wired. 

 

So how exactly should I hook these up to my pc? Do I need a another item to plug into and plug into pc? 

 

my motherboard is a Rog Strix z390-e. & the only "Dac" i have is a I'm Fulla Schiit. Which I use for my headphones. 

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Product in question is this: https://www.edifier.com/us/en/speakers/r1700bt-bluetooth-bookshelf-speakers

 

Update: I came across this cable on the product page that it'll come with: Will this connect to the speaker then into my PC?

Yea you would use that wire to connect the speakerset wired.

That cable is on one hand a 3.5mm jack, which you plug into your motherboard (or Full DAC) and the other wire goes into the speakers (I think in just one of them).

So, just to understand. The wire I circled I would plug the 2 cables on the right into the "Active Speaker" and the singular cable on the left into my PC Motherboard? 

 

Also, would a full Full DAC make it any clearer or sound any better? I'd be interested in getting one if so.

Yes

Probably not. If you are not experiencing bad sound now, a new DAC won't improve anything.

Thanks. I watched a video of someone unboxing and it didn't come with that cable. So I got kinda worried. Then realized the cable on the product page. So hopefully it comes with it. Would be doing that method benefit me though rather than using a optical port? Or does the sound still sound the same and just as good either way I go about it?

 

Also, I see. Alright. I was willing to buy a Full DAC just incase it did make it sound any better, but if not then I wont. xD. Thanks

I doubt there is a (huge) difference between the 3.5mm or optical cable.

If you have both as an option, you could definitely try to see if there is a difference to you.
