Easier way to use chaintek 710?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I currently run digital out of the soundcard to my receiver and then I use the preouts on the back of my receiver to my grado rs 1 headphone amp and then on to my rs80's. Is there an easier way to go from the chaintek to my grado amp? I would like to not have to use my receiver. If I use the analog outs of my chaintek I lose the pure signal, so I don't want to do that.

thanks!

Eventually, you will HAVE to lose your "pure signal." The only difference is that you are using the DAC in your reciever instead of the Wolfson DAC you would be using in the AV-710. I have an Onkyo reciever and find the DAC in that superior to the Wolfson, so I use a bit-perfect out and have that do the DACing. Simply plug the amp into the 8th analog output of your card and use the setup guide thread to set it up correctly, and decide which you like better and what your priorities are.
