I wish you showed the back connections of these items.

Excellent video for any beginner audiophile hifi setup. After many tries of different combinations, I did similar setup. Bought a compact Dell laptop refurbished with RAM, SSd etc for 200 .. bought Yamaha integrated amplifier with USB input, Polk speakers and it's a nice system. Key is understanding we need 3 things .. Source, Amp and Speakers. For source... I highly recommend using a nice old laptop

Hi great vid, i been looking setup like this, can you show how you connect it them, i currently have fiio k5 pro and planning to buy the klipsch speaker as well but dont know how to set it

[TheBoomerConsumer]

This video is how I set up my test bench for affordable audio products. I happen to be a big fan of Schiit Audio

Can you show how the components are connected???

[InSaiyanShinobi]

Should make a videos on how to do this and alternatives for none powered speaker setups on pc because this is probably the only video I found on how to do this

[DisabilityExams]

It's time to demand honest audio power output ratings again. RMS power at 8 ohms with 0.01% THD. Also time to demand the return of frequency controls on our audio gear.

Fosi also makes several 2.1 amps designed to add in and run either/or a powered/passive subwoofer which really does a lot when paired with bookshelf or small speakers as far as really opening up the fullness of the music.

I have several Schiit set ups for different applications and love their products.
I have one of the Loki EQ's and it is a nice little product and sized to fit with a modi sized stack..

I find as I age I keep downsizing and to be honest if I really want to listen to music other than more than a background application I always listen through headphones these days.
My main music setup is a Schiit Gungir DAC and Mjolnir 2 hybrid tube amp running balanced out to a set of Sennheiser hd700 cans.

Good video, if you showed the back of these components and the wire connections, it would have been a Great video!

My 2 cents: hook up your PC with a used receiver from say 10 years old. So much more power and build quality for little money. Add some decent used speakers and you will have an amazing sound.

[tatishk]

if these speakers were not passive. would you still need amplifier or any external staff?

[rekkoha-dknh]

Thanks for the information & video, sir. You cracked me up as well... now, I can finally get all my Schiit together.

[AnUndisclosedLocation]

He's giving a demo of the sound quality of his system...played through your, probably inferior system...which gives you no idea of how his system sounds.

[cooperdog]

Thank you for the detailed explanation. Amazing presentation to a basic understanding of wat is necessary for a basic sound system.

[zeekmx]

Finally someone is speaking the truth about blue tooth sux for audio.
Thank you brother Boomer Consumer.

I’ve been enjoying your series on audio equipment. I’ve been thinking about adding a DAC to my computer set up. This video answered a few of my questions. Thanks, Bruce.

[gregstevenson]

Getting an external DAC and speakers if you are even half way serious about sound quality at your desk is an absolute must. Schiit make the best bang for buck electronics bar none for the desktop but I would love to have seen how you've cabled that setup and whether it's worth investing in other components (SPDIF?) adapters between the source and the amp?

[csanmarting]

muy informativo el video, saludos de un nuevo suscriptor de chile, gracias por todo

[danlawrence]

How about a new video to reflect what you would choose today for a set up of passive speaker system

[wangniwei]

Would love to hear your personal take on the classic vinyl players. And which ones are still viable for today.
