Hi, currently i am connecting my speaker to my monitor using DP's audio. Should i get a external DAC for better sound quality? Budget around 100 to 200. Lowyat shop got sell them? My mobo dont have any sound card slot so sound card is out of option.

Best to upgrade your speakers first in order to benefit the most from the changes in improvements that you're seeking.

Only then once you're satisfied, an external DAC and/or amp should suffice.

My current speaker is altec mx5021, should be not that bad. I am connecting it to my monitor audio out port, sound source from gpu. So I just wonder an external DAC would make the sound more better.

The FiiO E10K will be a better option as you can plug in your headphones if any ... at the same time  brows.gif

Is there any DAC with both line in and line out? Because I was hoping to attach it in between my monitor and my speaker since now i am using line out from monitor to my speaker. So when ever i switch between each HDMI and DPs, the speaker can work both for my pc and my ps3 or ps4 in future.
