Hello all,

I just bought a Go-Vibe5 amp for my Senn 650 for my computer.

What is the best way to set these up?
Does this setup make sense (listed from source to heaphone), if not, please recommend how to hook up my three components:

Soundblaster X-FI Fatal1ty front bay 1/4 inch output ->
1/4 to 1/8 converter plug ->
1/8-1/8 interconnect cable from belkin ->
GoVibe5 amp 1/8 input and 1/8 output ->
1/4 to 1/8 adapter that came with Sennheiser HD650 ->
Sennhesier HD650 headphones(with or without cable upgrade)

Thanks for your help

No, you should use the card's 1/8" line out rather than the panel's headphone output. The advantage to this is that you get a line-level signal rather than one that has already been amplified above that level (which may introduce distortions/color that will only be amplified by your Go-Vibe). Another advantage is that you can connect your mini-to-mini belikin directly rather than use an adapter.
