I added a cheap DAC to my PC's audio setup. Here's how it changed my sound.

The Wimlim i510B DAC accepts Bluetooth and USB thumb drive inputs.

Many audiophiles say you need a DAC to get your system's best sound quality. And while I don’t consider myself an audiophile, I love listening to music and appreciate the fine detail you hear in every track. So, I decided to bite the bullet and get a DAC to see how it will affect my listening pleasure.

I bought the Wimlim i510B DAC on AliExpress for this experiment, which cost around $70. It connects to my PC via Bluetooth, and then I tested it on both my Edifier D12 Integrated Tabletop Speakers and ANC headphones. I know these aren’t top-of-the-line sound equipment, but they should be good enough to represent the average desktop PC.
