The SMSL m8A is only 4" x 5" so not much room taken. Since it is from Amazon you have 30 days to try it and find out if it works. Just let it send the signal full strength to the speakers and control the volume there. I only use mine for background level music so I don't expect it to sound like my other two systems. A basic sound card provided by the PC maker is going to be the first weak link in the system and hopefully it or the something will correct that enough to satisfy you. Other speaker options like the JBL or other "Pro" monitors are going to be even bigger.
