Hey Guys, I am looking for something rather unique and was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction. What I have is a computer with an Optical Audio Out audio card that I am using. As I understand, this is probably the most pure audio out my computer would have. What id like is a way to have a headphone amp that can connect to this with a selector for choosing headphones as I have a gaming headset with a microphone and my favorite of all time Grado 325i. What this would require is one output in 1/4" jack setup and one 1/8" audio out with microphone in capability. I bought the Plantronics "rig" just for the ability to do some of this, but, it lacks a 1/4" out, does very strange things to the sound and does not support switching. Unfortunately switching audio devices (through the computer) produces problems with software and an external selector would remove these problems. Basically what I want is a monitor A/B switch for headphones. I could even live with analog from the computer but was hoping to avoid my audio cards DAC and use a more quality tool for the task. Any ideas or suggestions?
