Hi, I have a decent 2.1 speaker system that connects to whatever via a headphone jack. When I plug it into my MacBook - it sounds pretty amazing. But when I plug it into my external monitor - it sounds considerably and noticeably worse. I'm not a pro, but I suspect it's because the DAC in MacBook is better than the DAC in the monitor, which makes sense.
Can I add an external DAC between the monitor and the speakers? And if so, how would I make sure that the signal goes through that new DAC as opposed to being processed in the monitor?
Thank you
p.s. I've tried researching this and I come across devices that are called "headphone amp" - are those just for headphones, or can they be used with speakers? Or what's the device that I need?
