Hello

Got some Jamo Studio S 803’s that I’m looking to use on a desktop, I am wondering what kind of amps I should be looking at but more importantly how I would connect all this up to my pc.

2

Well, do you have a dac, and also what kinda price range are you thinking? You would be looking for a smaller desktop amp and a dac to connect it all up to your pc

3

I don’t have anything other than a windows pc and the speakers. The budget is flexible but I’d prefer to not spend more than the price of the speakers again

Gotcha, is a topping pa3 and topping d10 in budget?

5

I assume you mean buying both? then the answer is yes and leaves enough for some decent cables if there is such a thing for not stupid money

6

Yes you would stack both, you can use whatever rca cables, amazon basics ones are nice. For speaker cables amazon basic speakers cables are nice

These?

You want to get the shortest cables you can, yes those

9

or is it a pc jack like this?

10

You would connect the d10 to your pc via usb, and then the rca from the line out of the d10 to the pa3

Ok cheers
Trying to find a genuine topping d10 looks about as likely as winning the lottery at this point lol, some company called Aimpire seems to have conned them

Gotcha, can you get a smsl m100? That is also an option
