I have a Teac Ai-301DA. It is great for my Elac B5's, but I find the headphone amplifier lacking in power. I only have audio Technica m50's, but plan on upgrading later to higher impedance headphones. I'm looking for a headphone Amp that can work with the Teacs DAC. The Unit has two RCA line...

Thank you very much cel. I appreciate it.

the room is 12x14 i think. This will prob be used for mostly near field usage although i would not mind the sub being able to fill larger rooms. I love Bass, but i also enjoy classical as well. 50% games, 50% music. Hip-hop, new age classical, classical, jazz.   thanks  

Any good recommendations for a powered sub under 300 other than the ones i mentioned?

I've looked on the internet and through head-fi but cant seem to get a solid answer.   I'm looking for a sub to pair with my mackie mr5s but not sure if i need a powered subwoofer or not. My price range is up to 300$   The subwoofers that people seem to recommend are:   BIC america...

I Want to get a Sub that will work with mackies mr5s budget is 250. i dont know what is a good one or what type of sub i need.   Thanks.

Quote: so optical goes in the OUT for both devices ? or One side in and the other out?    

I have an Emu 0404 usb and whenever the usb is hooked up to any of the usb ports on the computer i get a hummming noise through the speakers. My speakers are Mackie mr5's   I tried using s/PDIF from my auzentech x-fi forte to my 0404 but that doesnt change anything. Do i have to use the usb...

I have some Mackie Mr5's That in my opinion sound better than the KrK rokit 5's. I suggest going to your local guitar center or audio shop and testing out the displayed speakers. Thats the only way to really get a feel for what you like. I listened to the KrK's, Mackies, HS50ms, and picked the...

I was just wondering but can either of these soundcards do a 2.1 or 5.1 setup using all balanced connections? 2.1 is fine I/m just curious if the Focisrite can do 5.1 if i ever decide to get a 5.1 setup.   I have a x-fi forte and was wondering if i can use x-fi forte SPDIF Out-->Emu 0404...
