I currently have 4 speakers and a sub that all connect using speaker wire. I want an amp/dac that can take in headphones and the speaker's (maybes a mic as well). does any one know any solutions with speakers with speaker wire. do I need a dac/amd and then something else to connect the speakers to then the amp like an adapter?

You don't need a DAC/amp, you need a receiver.

Pascal Undervolting topic, get more out of your card with less power!

Why high refreshrate monitors look better even without Freesync/G-sync in one image.
Stutters, framedrops, "lag". How to provide detailed information with your "bottleneck" question, as well as a few solutions.

Don't really have much experience with receivers tbh.

thanks

what should I look up?

Just look up receiver and find one that can put all the watt out you need to all of your speakers.

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...

My main Headphones and IEMs:  K612 pro, HD 25 and Ultimate Ears Reference Monitor, HD 580 with HD 600 grills

DAC and AMP: RME ADI 2 DAC

Speakers: Genelec 8040, System Audio SA205

Receiver: Denon AVR-1612

Desktop: R7 1700, GTX 1080  RX 580 8GB and other stuff

Laptop: ThinkPad P50: i7 6820HQ, M2000M. ThinkPad T420s: i7 2640M, NVS 4200M

Feel free to pm me if you have a question for me or quote me. If you want to hear what I have to say about something just tag me.

Preferably a bit more. You don't want to risk clipping the output.
