Hi.
Just a few fairly noddy questions... I've got an Emu 0404 and wondering if I can have my existing setup which is:
0404 optical out > nad amp > speakers
And wondering if I can send the signal to say an external headphone amp as well via the two 1/4' 0404 outputs...
i.e.
0404 ---- optical out > speaker amp > speakers
\-------analog outs > headphone amp > phones
Some things I was wondering about are:
1) Would the output of either signal suffer? Or can it do both simultaneously at 100% quality? (No I wouldn't be listening to both at once, but I'd rather not have to go into PatchMix and change settings/patches if I can just turn on one amp and turn off the other - much easier, imo
2) How badly will it affect CPU and RAM use? I imagine processing twice the signal (and then also doing DAC in this case) will take a fair hit to resources.
3) Is this kinda setup not recommended for any reason?
Thanks in advance.
