Hi all, probably an insanely stupid question here, but need a bit of assistance. I just bought this soundcard and currently, I have my speakers (with amp built in) attached to the RCA inputs and my headphones attached to the headphone out. I am thinking of buying a Lehmann Black Cube Linear and want to know the most elegant and minimal solution to connecting both my current speakers and the headphone amp to the soundcard (so I can use both at the same time basically)

I realise there is a USB version of the Black Cube out there, but it is more expensive and I would like to see if there is a better alternative first. Thanks!

RCA Y-splitters are the only solution but you'll have to turn the speakers off or turn their volume all the way down when you want to use the headphone amp.

You could use splitters or an I/O selector. You see them for use with video system to select different devices for input. This would give you the ability to select where you want the output to go.
