Can I use gaming speakers with a console?

Yes, via the TV or monitor's headphone/line output, or through an HDMI audio extractor. Bluetooth speakers add latency that creates noticeable audio delay — use wired connections for gaming.

Do I need a DAC for gaming speakers?

For budget speakers under $100, your PC or console's built-in audio is fine. For premium speakers ($200+), an external DAC/amp can improve audio quality by reducing electrical noise from your PC's USB bus.
