Looking to improve PC sound

dalchina · 27 Sep 2016

I bought a pair of 2-way speakers in a solid box about 20cm tall in China for just over £10 with tone controls- pretty good sound by a company translated as 'Sweet sound'. The friendly guy knocked a bit off for me as a teacher. Another pair we found and had repaired in a local grubby electrician's in wooden cases.. nice.

Personally I have mine hooked up to my 80W 1980's hifi with Acoustic Research 10" speakers.

But Soundblaster Cinema really does make a worthwhile difference if you're moving around.

You could try software sound add on's like SRS Audio or DFX Audio enhancer, they have free trial downloads, but without good speakers there is only so much that software can enhance the sound.

Depending on your budget, I would suggest a good pair of headphones with a USB DAC.
A DAC is a "digital to analogue converter". Google "Firefly black 1.2 or Firefly Red" and check them out
That would certainly enhance and amplify your sound.
