I bought a pair of Ortizan studio monitors for my home studio. Aside from the standard TRS, RCS, and aux inputs, it has a usb-c option. Would it be better to directly connect my desktop via usb-c instead of going through my interface and into the TRS inputs? I figured skipping a step (interface) would keep the signal more pure, but then I’m just transferring the digital-to-analog processing from the interface to the speakers themselves. Or is that the wrong assumption and should I stick to the interface+TRS connection?

    Id use USB to take an extra link from the signal chain.

    This is what I was thinking as well, but then the question is, do I trust the monitors more than my interface to accurately process the signal? But you’re right, I guess the only way is to compare and see if there’s any difference. The problem now is that the burden is on me to identify which one is more accurate, instead of deferring to an actual proven fact that one is better than the other. lol

    Thanks for responding!
