Hi all!

I'm a newbie here and I just started my headphone life!

Would anybody tell me how to connect a headphone to the E-MU 0404?

quickest and cheapest way:

1/4" x2 -> RCA x2
RCA x2 -> 1/8" stereo
1/8" stereo coupler
headphones

another way is to buy the $30 monster cable and then a coupler. anyone have a link to the monster cable in question?

Why not just get a cheap CMOY?

Better sound, and more power to drive the cans.

Monster cable (this is where I got mine)

Coupler

and the 1/4" version for those who need it.

It's a lot cheaper to go the way strogg mentioned; you can get all that for under $15 at radio hack.

Would using that monster cable + a coupler net you any better sound quality than a regular rca with adapters to dual mono 1/4" on one end and rca to stereo 1/4" on the other?

so basically:
emu dual mono -> monster dual mono to stereo 1/4" -> stereo 1/4" coupler -> headphones
vs.
emu dual mono -> 1/4" to rca adapters -> rca cable -> rca to stereo 1/4" adapter -> stereo 1/4" coupler -> headphones

theres another simpler option that can be found at radioshack....

1/4" mono - 1/8" mono x2 > 1/8" stereo female - seperate 1/8" mono male here

or even a better way, yet slightly more involved would be to make yourself a custom adapter out of some good quality wire and ends, myself being a slightly lazy person has yet to do this.

An even more direct solution:

Anyone ordered from these guys? Looks like a great option for ampless Emuers like myself.

EDIT: upon closer observation they neglect to specify the female end as stereo, so i'm guessing it isn't. arrgg, so close.

Thank you for all of your advices!

I may opt for the cheapest method at the moment until I've a decision on which amp to get at some time later....

ooooooooook, this time i've got the right cable:

Hosa YPP136
$6.00 shipped at samash.com
$4.25 shipped at sweetwater.com

I emailed samash about a pricematch. We'll see what they say.

Yeah! It is the simplest way!

I just got a short cable with RCAx2-to-3.5mm at about US$2.50!!!

Any recomendation where to buy

I bought the YPP-136 locally and it doesn't seem to work :| i only have the left channel. on the package it says stero -> 2 mono, not 2 mono->stereo. the connections internally are not setup for the latter? hrm >_<
