So I finally got my first powered speakers to replace my old mini hi-fi:
Two Adam A3Xs going from the motherboard's soundcard (I know.. ) and connected in stereo link.
What's bothering me is that they don't have a headphone jack; I have to reach to the PC's front panel to get to it, which I could do more easily with my old hi-fi.
So since I most likely need a better soundcard to make the best out of these speakers.
I'm thinking about going inside but then it wouldn't solve the headphone issue.
What would be a small USB external card that I could use on my desk both as a headphone output and as a soundcard for the Adams and headphones?
I have some Audio Technica ATH-M50s and Sennheisers HD25-IIs.
Would you also recommend isolation on which to prop the speakers, even for such a small setup?
Thanks
