Man, all of this is so confusing.
How do I get a "true" line out from my computer?
I mean, you know how when you connect the lineout from an ipod (via lineout dock) to a headphone amp, the volume control in the ipod does not affect the volume of the signal exiting the lineout dock?
How do I do that for my computer (windows xp)? I mean, how do I get the signal from the DAC (which is in my computer) directly to my headphone amplifier so that any volume controls in the computer (like kmixer) will not affect the volume of the signal going to my headphone amp? Sorry if I sound like an idiot; I'm new in the whole computer audio thing.
Or do I have to go all digital, meaning usb dac or spdif?
Thanks, everyone!
