Can a DAC sort out a flat\cold amp?

What speakers do you have? I doubt that the Yamaha amp is the problem!

@orenm145 Nice meters shame about the sound! This amp is Mid-Fi at best. Decide if you want an integrated amp or separate pre and power amps. Then decide if you want a streamer/server with built in DAC or not.

Computer audio is full of noise and it's better to gradually remove it from your system.

If I was in your position I'd get a DAC first, a Chinese one will give you the best value and then upgrade everything as necessary.

I know this amp is my problem but  i can’t just buy another 3k amp. currently my biggest problem is the bass , i’ll worry about noise later. I really don’t know what so you mean by chinese dac. Can you give an example?

buying another amp or seperates are out of the question. When i plug in my dj controller & tweak the sound mid,hi,low it sound good enough for me. Is there a way to get an eq on thouse chinese dacs?

as for the speakers they are not to blame since they sound good with my old amp which was a pioneer home theater 100w. Long story short i just need a cheap fix until i’ll manage to find a replacement. Cables did not help. Even buying a warmer speaker might not do the trick since this amp is not so easy to pair with speakers. 

Buy a Shitt Loki EQ. It used to be about $130, but I haven’t looked lately.
