using studio monitors as pc speakers?

If I was to get a dac would the Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 be ok it has balanced output? or would the Audioengine D1 be a better option?

Also am I going to notice a difference between the onboard audio and any of the above.
 
ill try it first with 3.5mm from the sound card and see if I can grab a D1 from the rainforest as if I dont notice a big difference I can always return it.

Ended up ordering a pair of HS7's which should be here tomorrow and a HosaTech CYX-402M not sure if the cable is the right one tho?

Not sure pro monitors are ideal for multimedia type use, they are designed to sound as neutral and revealing as possible, if you get some with tone controls they will probably be ok.

The HS7's sound great! The setup is a bit overkill but wanted some nice looking speakers and didnt want to run a amp to power them when active monitors came to mind. My main gaming rig (6700k) has a 7.1 setup with B&W speaker setup and even tho the HS7's sound isnt as warm as the B&W still sounds fantastic.

Ordered a Denon 300usb and Audioengine D1 will setup both and see which I like got my on some Schiit stuff as well..
