    Maverick Audio TubeMagic D1 (DAC/Amp) - Condensed FAQ and Info Thread

    Hi all,   Would I be able to plug my creative 2.1 speakers into the output of a D1 to get me through until I can get a set of dedicated speakers and amp?   Would this cause any problems? and which set of RCA's would be best to connect it to?   Cheers Paul
