I am going to be buying an M-Audio Revolution sound card as an upgrade to my current Audigy2 card - I still want to be able to do some gaming so didn't want to get one of the professional grade sound cards (besides not being able to afford to do so.

)

As far as I can tell from the pictures, the Revolution card does not have RCA output jacks on it. I intend to use the card with my headphones (Senn HD590s) and my headphone amp (Meta42)

The card has 3 outputs that the company calls "Surround Outputs." Sorry for the dumb question, but do I use one of these outputs to plug in the amp? I'm assuming I have to use a mini to RCA cable to do so. Is this correct?

Also, I read this thread: http://www4.head-fi.org/forums/showt...MAudio+outputs
I, too, was hoping to be able to use my speakers (Klipsch ProMedia 4.1s) when I wanted to and my headphones when I wanted to. One of the posts talks about using winamp to enable you to use both without having to unplug/plug in cables. I use MusicMatch instead of winamp; does anyone know if MusicMatch has similar capabilities?

You can use mini to RCA cable for that. Plug it in the front speaker out (board has total of 4 minijacks for outputting), and set it up as stereo. There's also a headphone setting, can't remember what that does but it goes to the same output.

I believe you have to use mini to RCA, M-Audio Revolution just like normal soundcard which come with only headphone jack. So you need a mini => RCA cable to connect your soundcard to your amp.

Thank you. I had already ordered a mini to RCA cable before I decided to change out my sound card. Glad the cable will still work!
