Whats your sound system for your computer?

I think it is worth buying a powered speaker with onboard DAC since the DAC in the computer is poor.  I have PSB and Audioengine.  I returned a second set of audioengine since it wouldn't set as the default speaker and I had to go select it every time I plugged my compute in.  I contacted them and they said "we've heard about that, maybe we will fix it in a future release".  So returned them and got PSB.  Very good.  Jerry

Are you talking about something ON your DESK, or IN a room like small office?

In any case, I would solve sitting center/great imaging 1st, then what size, then quality. On desk, self powered can makes sense, unless you want tube sound, then a low powered tube amp (I use 10 wpc) to keep heat down.

I don’t like ports, if so, front not side or rear, gives better options if you move them.

I was using headphone out for years, until using USB out to DAC to amp was recommended here. Far better.

I use integrated audio from Intel Motherboard, rather than separate audio or av board, too avoid extra fan noise.
