Connecting Headphone Amp to Notebook - How?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Hi, soon I will be buying Acer TravelMate 8104 notebook. As I play games sometimes and do some rookie music editing and mixing, I want to boost up my notebook soundwise. I'm probably going to get Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Notebook (PMCIA) soundcard for that. The problem is that I'm not using any speakers (Sennheiser HD600) which are connected to my small headphone amp (Corda). Now I have a pair of RCA-interconnect which I bought for the headphone amp but I'm not sure how to connect them to the soundcard. Can you help me?

Would the best way be to buy a 2RCA-miniplug-adapter or what? Also, do you know any other soudcard solution which would have all the same features as Audigy 2 ZS Notebook but had more connections (RCA). I can't seem to find any because the ones that are good for music mixing and editing and have a lot of connections, are not really gaming soundcards and do not have all the EAX-effects.

they audigy may be a good soundcard for gaming (i dont know), but it is not so good for music. Perhaps you could try an indigo i/o? There are also numerous external soundcards that are good. I don't know much about what's available, but I have a Waveterminal u24 and it is pretty good.
I plug my amp into the headphone out of the soundcard via a 1/8" -> 1/8" mini-mini cable.

My headphone amp has only got one pair of outputs (and nothing more) so I can't use that 1/8" cable. Those adapters are so poorly made that I broke one of them because I guess they are not made to withstand the weight of a high-end interconnect I used. I guess I'll buy one of those Monster Cable miniplug-2RCA interconnects although I really wanted to use my high end interconnect (RCA). They don't cost that much.
