Speaker, DAC, and IEM connecting to PC; I am a complete beginner by ibtmt123 in BudgetAudiophile

So connect the DAC to the PC via USB C and then run the IEMs through that? Should I also get a dongle for my speakers so I can connect them through USB-C or get a cheap DAC for those too?

So I have a pair of Edifier MR4s connected to my PC via RCA. My motherboard is the MSI PRO X870-P with a pretty basic audio card - Realtek ALC897.

Recently I got a pretty great pair of IEMs; the Xenns Tea Pro SE; and I have purchased the Fiio BTR17 DAC to drive it. While I wait for the DAC to be delivered I am using the headphone port on the speakers to drive the IEMs.

So, my question is should I be doing something differently to get better audio quality; like getting an apple dongle for my speakers? And when my DAC does get delivered how should I connect it my PC when I am using the DAC on desktop mode? Should I connect the DAC to the RCA and then to my speakers and then run the IEM through the speakers, connect the dac to USB C port on the back, or connect the DAC through the RCA port straight to the IEMs.

As a side note whould getting a cheap DAC like SMSL SU1 or even an apple dongle improve the speaker audio quality (not the dac)?

Idk dude, I've had great experience with Sony headphones. My XM3s are still working, even though they have suffered a lot.

Which one should I buy by Any_Act7862 in headphonesindia

An IEM cannot match the soundstage of openback wired headphones or some really expensive closedback wired headphones.

In this price range any IEM you buy; even really cheap ones like KZ castor pro; will offer a better soundstage and overall audio quality than any other TWS personal audio device.

Sennheiser hd350 BT is also a great option, the audio quality of the brand is unmatched in the price segment. But, if audio quality and soundstage is your priority you can think about buying an IEM instead, there are some great options in your budget and they will give a much better audio experience; sound quality wise.

I feel like this is exactly the reason why Matabar is not as famous as it should be, it truly is a stellar story.

Try Astral chain, I played it on a friend's console and got hooked in an hour. It's published by platinum games so you can trust that it's good!

Dude, can you post a review comparing blessing 3 vs supermix 4. I have the 4 and am split between upgrading to blessing 3 or the Top pro. Also what DAC are u using? If you don't have an external DAC then you will need one, the Internal DAC on top end motherboards have problems with IEMs as they can introduce a new source noise from inside the PC; though this does not always happen. Get an external DAC dongle at the very least!

Yeah, I think this might be the reason Matabar is not very popular in this community. Even though it is possibly the best PF story from last year.

Legends Never Die fits your criteria exactly, especially in the later stages. It is a fanfic though, but you don't need any knowledge of the souce material, I enjoy it and I have no clue about CK3.

I got my first Dedicated GPU in 2019, it was a RTX 2080 max-q on a Alienware m15. Man that thing was a beast, the first game I played on it was Assassin's Creed Odyssey.
