OK, I love the sound my Auzentech X-plosion card gives me through my Swans D1010MKII, but I got a pair of Audio-technica ATH-AD700 and I don't have a front-panel header...

What is the best $50 or less option to be able to use both my Swans and the AD700s without crawling under my desk to swap the cable?

Is this the version you have? Auzentech, Inc. Sound Cards. Audio You Can Believe In. World First soundcards for Music, HTPC, and Gaming.

I hear the home cinema version is gonna rock! But it looks like at the rear of the card is a couple sets of pins, one looks like it might be an AC-97 FP header connection, kind of tough judging by their provided photos....though the features list mentions nothing about FP connectivity. That's a real bummer.

Really the cheapest option would be a splitter, which I'm sure is not highly looked upon here, and I'm sure for good reason, but maybe you could make a quality 3.5mm splitter out of better cables. I still use the 5.1 splitters from my HPA2's, they're actually pretty damn good in compairson to the cheap junk I used to have. That way I don't lose my Logitech X-230's or my headphones...though I rarely use my speakers anymore due to the place I live. Not saying that's your best option, but it'll at least get you started well under max budget. Sometimes you gotta lose somewhere for conveniece. Cheers.

Look for a audio switch box.

Thank you. That is the sound card I have... Havn't upgraded the opamps yet as I like what I am hearing alot better than my old X-fi XtremeGamer. I was wanting to avoid a splitter, but I guess it is just a stop-gap until I can get a head-amp with a line out.

Markertek here I come.
