So, I've got an E9 for several months now, and have been loving it so far.
I should be receiving my E17 in the near future, and I plan to pair it up with the E9 and my Beyerdynamic DT880, but I have a few questions regarding connectivity.
The only digital input in the E9 is USB, which I'd draw from the onboard Realtek something something chip on my Asus Sabertooth P67 mobo, but is it possible to use the SPDIF "in" on the E17 and still use the amp circuitry of the E9? I can't see why I shouldn't be able to do it that way, but I haven't come across anyone else who have done it that way, so I'm not 100% sure if it's possible. Anyone with knowledge and/or the E9/E17 combo who can help me out?
If so, I plan on getting a proper sound card to get the better audio chip instead of using the motherboard and its questionable audio output capabilities.
Thanks!
