Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Best Audio Quality Setup: Explained!”.
Hey, what’s up guys mkbhd here back with another quick video and today we’re going to be taking a look at how to get the best audio quality out of your computer. Now it’s actually a pretty simple process, not even really a process. It’S just really easy to do. I have a recommendation for you.
That’S going to do the trick now when i watch a lot of setup tours on youtube or a lot of videos of people’s setups or just geeks altogether. A lot of them just forget about audio. Even you know, regular people forget about audio, but even tech savvy people forget about the audio component of their setup.
So as general whole, let me introduce you guys to dacs digital to audio converters. As a general rule, people buy external digital audio converters because the internal ones that are built into our computers that feed directly to the output headphone jack basically are typically really really bad audio files. Just like pretty much any other files on your computer or tablet or phone or laptop or desktop start off as binary, zeros and ones zeros and ones, and they need to be converted to an analog signal, that’ll, actually vibrate and make you hear the sound that gets To your ears, so even if you have the greatest speakers in the world, the best audio setup in the world, if it’s going straight through the headphone jack you’re, using the computer’s internal dac and ultimately that’s going to be pretty bad and ends up being what we Call a bottleneck in your audio setup, so you can get the best sound out of those digital files, those zeros and ones uh with a boss, external audio converter and usually that’s going to go via usb and actually getting pretty inexpensive too.
As of recently they’ve come down a lot in price and i have a link in the description, so you can check some of these out, but they’re getting really down the audio engine. D1 is a great example. It has a slim form factor a really solid, build and provides power to your headphones as well through its built-in amplifier.
So you’re getting a lot for your money and i feel like this is more of a public service announcement than anything. But i i just wanted to let you guys know that if you are really contemplating getting a really high-end setup, you can’t forget about audio and a digital audio converter is definitely something you want to invest in in order to make sure you get the best out Of the best of your audio, so when i just switched from the built-in audio jack in my laptop to the audio engine d1, going through the ath m50s, it sounded actually a pretty solid difference. I was having fun turning it on and off listening to the difference.
In sound and you got a little punchier deeper crisper bass, you got a little bit wider, sound stage and more of a stereo sound effect. It was really cool and it definitely makes a big difference so to get the best possible listening experience the best possible sound out of your music. You want the highest quality audio files possible, those zeros and ones, and the highest quality digital to audio converter possible, which is almost never the one that’s built into your computer.
So there you go and a great pair of headphones usually helps too thanks for watching give a thumbs up on this video. If you enjoyed it and i’ll talk to you later peace, so you .
