Okay, I am currently looking to buy a stereo receiver(I think). I mostly want it for changing inputs to minimize the amount of plugging and unplugging I have to do. I'm assuming that's what I should get is a stereo receiver. I'm not looking to power any speakers, but that function wouldn't be bad if I do decide to get some lower end speakers. FM/AM Tuner is a big plus but not a must. My budget is 150$ or less for just the receiver(cables and such that I need i'll make myself). Please give me your recommendations
Just to bring more clarity....
I have a HifiMan EF2 hooked up to my computer through USB. I also have a cable plugged into the on-board sound(for gaming). Last but not least, I have a xbox hooked up through hdmi to my monitor. My monitor has a 3.5mm slot for audio. I just have cheap ass speakers for the xbox but sometimes I use em with my computer.
Now, if I hook my EF2 up with usb, then connect to the receiver through the headphone jack with a 1/4" to rca-rca cable then hook up my headphones to the receiver will that work?
Will it be possible to have the xbox on with the cheap speakers, along with my headphones to my computer at the same time? I don't believe it will because i'll be selecting inputs and I can only select one at a time.
I hope I haven't confused you guys too much... am I headed in the right direction in getting a stereo receiver?
