Hi All,
I'm looking into ordering an xonar essence stx as I just got brainwavz hm5s and want them to sound great. So here are my questions:
1. Does the card have a front panel connection that is amplified?
2. I have a cheap set of 2.1 speakers that I use when i'm not listening to music through the headphones. They have a basic 3.5mm plug. Is there any way I can hook these up to the card as well?
3. If I can hook the 2.1 speakers up, does the card have an auto-mute when I plug headphones into the front panel or into the back of the card?
4. In the future, i'm going to purchase a nice set of 2.0 bookshelf speakers to hook up to the card. I'm assuming they would hook up to the RCA plugs in the back of the card, is the correct (or would I be able to hook up an amp to the RCA plugs)?
I know these are noob questions but that's kinda where I am. Thanks all for any help!
