    External D/A convertor


    Found this small and affordable external D/A convertor that can replace and upgrade onboard sound chip. Just connect to the optical out of the onboard sound, no driver and is usb powered. It's affordable and expensive than onboard sound chip. Worth a try and feedback. Kindly share your opinions.

    Anything from Aliexpress is usually cheap and unreliable junk that takes ages to get delivered.

    If you don't have 3.5mm to rca adapter and if this thing costs about the same 3.5mm to rca adapter then buy this thing.

    Otherwise it makes like 0.000000001 of an audio difference. I am not a dog, so I don't have super hearing powers and it won't make a difference in real life

    I already had a decent soundcard, just sharing this finding with those on low budget on board sound chip with optical connection
    as an affordable upgrade.

    These are an example of real... "quality" DACs. I have no idea what you'll get for $4

    very impressive , will take note of your recommendation for my audio upgrade.
