    I ordered the speakers. But, I was still not sure about the cables. So I went on 'chat' with a Monoprice rep... Here is the log of our conversation.... he confused me more than I was, if that's even possible...   " [04:37 PM] Brian: the speakers have XLR and 1/4" TRS connectors...

    SENNHEISER PC 360 which soundcard

    I have the Sennheiser PC360 with the Asus Xonar Essence ST card.   Son and I play games(Battlefield 3) and listen to music. For music, that headset is great. Sometimes I listen to the music thru our speakers (M-Audio AV-40's > good but a bit over-rated IMO).   For gaming, with this...

    Thanks. I'll try that setup.   In BF3, my sound localization/recognition is better with my 2.0 M-Audio AV40 speakers than it is with my Sennheiser PC360 headset. Shouldn't that be the other way around?

    Thx, guys...   Had some good extra rca's...   all set...   sounds great. As soon as I connect headphones, either to the DAC or the speakers, the speakers shut off... Possible to get a headphones/speakers switch, rather than having to disconnect headphones every time?

    Cable setup of M-Audio AV40's with NuForce Icon uDAC 2....

    I have extras of those downstairs where my regular stereo system is...don't tell me I actually have the right cables, and don't have to run to a store?   So, it's just 1 cable from R-red on DAC to R-red on Line/speaker/R-red, and another cable from L-white on DAC to Line/speaker/L-white ??
