Great review.   I have this same combo and it's awesome. I have M-Audio AV40s going out of the pre-out. But they really shine with headphones.

Newb question. I've read a tremendous amount and I'm still processing it all. I did use the search function.   This question is for Nameless and whomever thinks they have some insight: Is it possible to use CSS3D with an Xfi Xtreme Music soundcard and a GAmecom 780 usb headset?   He had...

Hi all,   Newb question. I've read a tremendous amount and I'm still processing it all. I did use the search function.   This question is for Nameless and whomever thinks they have some insight: Is it possible to use CSS3D with an Xfi Xtreme Music soundcard and a GAmecom 780 usb headset?  ...

I connected my E09k to my AV40s via Line outs and the sound is terribly low. I have to crank the speaker volume all the way up and set gain to +12 on the E17 to get good volume. Sent from my HAM radio up in low orbit.

Thanks!   So if the speakers rock speaker wire outs then they can deliver enough power for passive speakers, but if they rock RCA outs that is low signal non-amplified.   PurpleAngel you are your namesake, indeed.   You clarified tons.    Thanks, again.   Last question. So what is the...

I get that it is considered so but I think that it has enough power to drive passive speakers.   What about this? Since there is one Right audio output and only one Left RCA ouput, what about buying a male to 2 male split cable for each?   Would that work?

So I'm pretty new. I posted a similar question in the introduction help thread.   Anyway, that one veered off a bit. I wanted to specifically ask about outputting to passive speakers.   Is there a way to do that without using a another amp in the line: E09K → passive speaker set? Or must it...

Is there a output splitter I can simply run the E09k output through and then have it go to the individual speakers:   E09K → output splitter → → Passive speakers

Great. Thanks.   Question: Why is a speaker amp necessary? Isn't the E09K enough of an amp, or not?   Or is it that the E09K only has enough outputs for one speaker?

Interesting. I am checking those out.   My main concern is, can I run my AV-40s wiith my Fiio E09K? I mean will they be damaged.   And secondly, can I run a pair of passive speakers with my E09k?

Hi,   I'm new. I've actually read tons on this forum before joining today; probably a good 18 months of resourcing these forums. I can't find any clear answers to my dilemma in the forum search or on the web.   Well this year I've finally attempted to dip my toes into the Audiophile waters...
