Good day!
I plan on buying the m8 xl4 in a few weeks to use for my hd800 and ipad but I also want this dac/amp to be used for my computer at home.
1. Can I actually use the 1/8 out for my powered speakers? (swans t200b)
2. If I plug the m8 to the power outlet will it still use the built in battery?
Thanks alot!
1, you can but it is not recommended, as it might not have enough power.
2, yes but not as much.
Actually, for #1...if they are powered speakers, they need a line level input. The M8 is perfectly capable of providing that from the 1/8 jack. I believe mid gain, and volume maxed (or near max?) on the M8 gives you that level.
