Nope. You'll be greatly under-powering your speakers, and will probably fry the sound card.

I use to run me audio output/ headphone output of me iMac straight to me Auxilary line level input of me NAD receiver.

now I run me fiber optic output of me iMac into a HeadRoom MicroDAC. then the MicroDAC into the Tape Monitor input of me NAD receiver.

you need something to power them speakers unless they are active monitors.

what kind of speakers have you got?

they are litle old(1980 i think

), Pioneer CS - 545, they are similar to this:

To run those you will need a line out and amp as mentioned above.
