After having just ordered a NAC (Linksys NSLU2, a.k.a "The Slug") and an external 250GB hard drive, I'm looking to re-rip all of my music to FLAC and use my computer as a source rather than my SACD player.
I'm seriously considering getting a Emu 0404 USB, being that it's #1) external and #2) so highly reviewed. I've heard that its amp output is "balanced". What exactly does this mean? Do I have to have a balanced cable to take advantage of it? I'm going to be running *some* sort of cable from it to my Rockhopper M3 amp for a little extra juice, which I/O interface is best?
Suggestions/reccomendations are appreciated
