I assume that you're using the "on board" sound from your computer. That's a big problem. As stated, A USB DAC, without any up sampling/down sampling, will go a long way to improve sound.
Where/How can I further improve PC audio quality?
I just started listening to streaming PC audio. The app I'm using is Spotify and the audio card I installed is an Evny 24HF outputting 20 bit, 96khz. I am using a 280 fiber glass Toslink connected to my Cambridge Audio AZURE 840C which upsamples to 24/386. Overall, it sounds pretty good, however I would really welcome feedback on how I may be able to improve audio quality. I am using Spotify Premium and selected high resolution and hardware excelleration. Thanks for your help!!
