Hi guys,
I am building these speakers
http://www.audioheuristics.org/projects_gallery/ER18DXT/ER18DXT.htm and will be using the Class D Amp SDS-254, I also have a subwoofer.
I will be running these off a Core i7 PC with the
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102006 Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer soundcard, all my music and movies are stored on a server running WHS file formats are FLAC, mp3 and HD Rips for movies.
I plan to get another stereo class D amp in the future and eventually build a 5.1 setup for HT and Music and i will also be adding either a projector or a large LCD TV for the display, my source will always be the WHS server and I don't plan on having separate speakers for stereo and HT something which will let me switch would be ideal.
Keeping this in mind, can you please tell me what I need next? Do i need a DAC or pre-amp or some kind of HT processor?
I am utterly confused and would appreciate your suggestions.
Thanks!
