If you can do it let me know. I have been trying with my whole sys. PC, Theater sys and all my speakers 12 and Amp and reel to reel and smart TV IT Hard to come up with plug not like the sys. I hard in the 80's You need to a bigger one or a mixer like I did better. OK

Can you provide further details of what you are trying to do? Generally you can only connect one input to a speaker system so either the PC or the HDTV. If the PC has a 5.1 soundcard, the cables that come with the X-530 can be used to hook it up. The quick-connect guide that comes with the X-530 will indicate which connections and where on your sound card. Depending on your HDTV audio outputs, you may need additional cables. If you have the manual of the TV you can look in it to find out what all outputs it has prior to determining which cables you will need.

Pretty sure you can just use an RCA to 1/8" adapter to connect sound coming from a computer. Never tried it but since the E8's have RCA out, this solution seems reasonable.

Yes. Both. Be sure that the control speaker volume of the Monitor must be turn all to the right in order to control it from a DAC.

When you have purchased an appropriate amplifier there will more than likely be RCA connections for Line-Level audio. You're *supposed* to have an audio interface to filter out the highs, but I just run an auxiliary-to-RCA cable straight from my PC's audio jack to the amplifier. Works fine.

As far as I understand, that set-up will utilize the amp function but not the DAC. The DAC is only through the USB port.

There should be a stereo audio jack on the tv for headphones connection. Just use it for the cable to the speaker unit. If it doesn't have a speaker jack then there should be some female rca audio output jacks on the back of the tv. If it doesn't have either of these then the only solution would be to connect wires to the tv speakers and run them to rca female connectors.

Technically, yes, this DAC could be used between your TV's digital output and your amp, providing your TV has a digital audio output. If it's only offering analog (RCA cables) then the audio has already been converted.

No, it's not included with the DAC. But you can use any standard computer USB type 2 cable (same one you'd use if you were connecting your computer to a printer). Or use a specialized audio USB from Audioquest etc.

I'm using the amp for my flat screen tv, which only has a digital audio out. The tv's speakers aren't very good. I run the digital audio out to a digital to analog converter. Then it's a simple matter of hooking up some speakers. BTW, the amp is well worth the money if you can use its configuration.

The only out on this DAC is analog, that's why you'd use it: digital-to-analog conversion. Connect your digital sources to it to have a better conversion to analog than most receivers and embedded analog outs on most players. But it only converts PCM stereo, so if you want dolby or DTS 5.1, 7.1, and beyond, this is not your route.

I figured out a/the solution. When you plug the sound cable into the sound jack for your computer you also need to plug an auxiliary cable into the audio out port which is located on the same side as the hdmi out. Once you have plugged the aux cable into that end you need to look for the PC/DVI audio in jack on your television and plug it into there. Once you have done that the sound will go through. Hope this helps.

Obviously your speakers need some kind of amp, internal (active speakers) or an external amp. Could you run this directly into an amp? Probably not because your TV likely outputs at full volume. You'll probably want some kind of preamp or volume control. But check your TV manual, if it does volume in the digital domain then you could. When I run my TV through it though, it is at full volume. Mine is TV > DAC > Integrated amp (basically a receiver w/o a radio) > passive speakers. And remember this is 2ch stereo, it won't do DD or DTS, you have to tell your TV to output PCM audio.

You might get a slightly less noisy final output due to the absence of the additional physical connection of the input plug to jack but otherwise, that would depend entirely on the source of the analog signal you give it as input via the AUX jack. If it's a good analog signal (like even typical on-board DACs in computjers), you are unlikely to notice much difference.

Yes, you can use this stereo as an additional output for TV audio. You will need an RCA to 3.5mm audio cable. Connect the RCA to the audio output socket on the TV and the other end, the 3.5mm, to the "PC IN" socket on the stereo. I've tried it and it worked.

Are you trying to use this as an input to the Sub, or an output from the sub to the PA? I am using a RCA to 3.5 mm cable as input from another source to the sub, and then the sub's low level output to monitors, and that works fine. All of those are low level, though. If you are inputting TO the sub from the PA, i would think it would have to be non amplified signal or damage could occur. I'm not sure if the stereo link feature on that PA is low level or not.

A DAC is a nice complement to these for audio clarity. It will sound much better than just coming out of your computer with a analog signal. But they don't necessarily need a pra-amp or DAC if you are using a computer. The volume slider on the computer will control there volume level. The only necessity for a pre-amp or DAC is for switching multiple source devices and volume. So if you intend on only using one source and it has a way to control volume then a Pre-amp is not necessary. If this is not clear please feel fee to call us for further explanation. Thank you for your interest. By the way I think these speakers sound incredible!
