This is my first dip into buying any kind of external amplifier, and I just have a few questions. I have an Auzentech X-Fi Forte and I've been wanting to try something new. Here we go:
1) I was wondering how to connect it to a external amplifier, while bypassing the built-in Forte amp and at the same time still using the Forte's DAC?
2) If I do this, will I still able to utilize the soundcard's DSP for gaming purposes?
3) In the future, if I buy an separate external USB-only DAC (w/o digital out), does this mean that any audio source will completely bypass the soundcard, effectively making the soundcard useless?
Thanks.
