I'm feeding through the lineout as well and I found better SQ that way tbh + that I can hook up my AD700 to the headphone out so I can use Dolby Headphone while gaming
. I have to put the volume to 1 (yes 1!) for the AD700's lol. Even then it's sometimes too loud thus I have to change the game volume in game.
Yeah thats what I'm doing
Well Lineout to the Audioengine A5's then a pass-through into the M3.. and using the headphone jack for my gaming headphones.. great combo

you essentially need to trim them as short as possible, so the shield fits and the leads might introduce distortion and so if they're too long I think.
anyway, all I can say is that bass is back w/ a vengeance!
BTW LME49720NA's are completely FREE (even the shipping) if you use a school or work e-mail address on the National website. I withheld with ordering samples until yesterday when I remembered ordering some LM4562's way back. Ordered 4 49720's for free =]

I tried both extensively. With my setup (listed in my profile), the amped output (on the high gain) fed into the M^3 sounded the best. It depends on the opamps you use in the M^3.

Actually, those IC's are very common in recording circles, you could always solder up a custom one.
Is this what you mean, LINK
I use those for insert effects on audio mixers.

Yes, Rob has the right ones. The ones I specifically use are the Monster iCables. They are of decent quality. Here's the link: Monster® iCable® for iPod® and iPhone
However, if you'd like even better RCA-to-mini cables, go to Blue Jeans' website and order from there. They cost under $50.

The ones you linked to are 3.5mm to dual RCA. Are you using a 1/4" to mini jack adapter on the end?
To note, A basic cable and adaptor set is good to have around especially if you get into connecting your soudncard to various audio devices.
I have a huge tupperware container filled with every kind of cable you can think of and a smaller tacklebox full of adpters. -Very handy when recording and using a mixer. I still run into situation where I don't have the right adapter or cable for the job.
I'm just surprised that an amplified signal thats amplified again by the M3 wouldn't create some weird oscillation issues and that it wouldn't sound just.. bad... but apparently it sounds quite good .. to one person I understand, but I'm curious now to see if I'd like it too.. I just assumed that was a big no-no
It depends on how you look at it. Your basically driving one amplifier from another, actually that is done all the time in different ways.
Aslong as your not overdriving the inputs of your second amplifier you should be good.
Many might say it is frowned upon, but your gear and your ears. Enjoy.
BTW, I use foobar in KS w/ foobar...opening IE6 on XP SP3 while playing a track is fine, but w/ firefox3 there's an audible audio blank ?!
I've always found FF3 utterly slow to open up, but it's even killing foobar(which runs in high priority)..yes my HDD is defragmented
this slow opening time has always been very annoying anyway, but w/ my previous USB soundcard it didn't make any glitch...time to try Safary and Chrome

Are you going to keep your system connected in this manner or are you going back to line-outs?
