Hey guys:
I'm looking for a UBS DAC with Optical in & Line out in preparation for the following use.
Laptop + DAC using USB out
Xbox 360 + DAC using Optical out (there's a 360 dongle for this)
DAC + Subwoofer + Nearfield monitors using Line out to the Sub's line in, then Sub to Nearfields using Sub's Line out.
Both the Sub and Nearfields are active/powered, the Sub will handle the 80hz crossover & RCA cables needed to connect to Sub & Nearfields.
Lastly, DAC + headphone out to IEMs.
I'm thinking an Emu 0404 USB could do all of the above? Please tell me if I'm wrong; also can you recommend any other products?
Oh yeah, one last little thing, both the Sub & Nearfields are able to accept XLR in, Sub can also XLR out. So any DACs using XLR out would also be fine.
