I recently upgraded to Windows 10. After my upgrade was complete I realized my sound card (Creative Labs X-Fi Titanium Pro) the manufacturer won't update them anytime soon. This sprung me to do some research on finding a new audio solution. Upon doing some research I found that using an internal sound card especially one like the one I was using was inferior to many other options. Now here comes my dilemma and confusion as to what I need. A buddy of mine uses a stereo receiver to play back audio over his computer. I like the way that looks and sounds and was thinking that would be the route I would go as I want something with multi-channel capabilities (I'm currently running 5.1 surround on my computer) although I would be willing to drop down to a 2 channel setup although ultimately I would like the option to have a full surround setup. Would a good stereo receiver benefit from a DAC? Or should I just hook the receiver directly up to my computer?

So, Ive got myself some Polk Audio RTi A1s. Ive figured out that I'm going to need an amp to power them (at least, I think I do). My plan was to wire the aux connection from the back of my PC to a SMSL Q5 Pro, then run the Q5 to the Polk. My questions. Will this work? What stereo connectors are on the Q5 Pro? Are they banana plugs or something else? Will the Q5 Pro power the Polk A1s? What cords do I need? Do the Polk A1s accept banana plugs? (I was planning to buy 50ft of speaker wire, cut it to what I need, then put banana plugs on each end.)

Cippa1991 posted a question in Questions and Answers
Hello, I have recently bought a new Arctis Pro + GameDAC headset but I have a very annoying problem: when I play or stop or close the window (exeple Youtube window or Tidal window) or even when I change song from Tidal i hear a very short noise (the same when i turn on or turn off my PC). Can anoyone hel me? Thanks -
I am thinking of investing in a small dac and a good studio set of headphones for the first time and found a set of beyerdynamic dt 990 250ohm second hand at a good price but i think it has an unbalanced cable. I saw a video by dankpods featuring the fiio btr5 saying it could run hd 600's pretty good but he did not say if that was balanced or unbalanced. Link to the video:

Pretty much what the title says. As soon as I plug it in all the lights start flashing I immediately unplugged it. Any ideas? What am I missing or did I get a faulty power supply? Thanks!
