I am connecting my Pc to powered speakers using a 3.5mm to 2 rca + Y splitters. I notice some hissing noise which I expected. While I am listening to music or playing video, it's mostly not noticable.
While I am playing older games, not a problem but if I start playing a resource-hungry game, psu draws more power and the noise starts to irritate.
Should I buy a Dac, a ground isolator or a ci box to eliminate hissing completely? Which would be less expensive but still make the job done?
There are a few other things to consider. I want to be able to connect my powered speakers to Tv via tv's optical output and speakers' rca output. I bought a dac for it but it seems corrupt.
Also I want to be able to connect my powered subwoofer to Pc and if possible to Tv too, should I buy a multi channel (5.1) dac for it? If I just buy a stereo Dac, connect my speakers to it and then connect my subwoofer's rca line-ins to powered speaker's Xlr output using a Xlr to rca +Y spitter, will my subwoofer work?(without having to buy a 5.1channel dac)
So I want to be able to do all of the things which I mentioned, if possible I just want to buy just one device and accomplish all of these. What should I buy, which type of device?
