The Focus Rite seems like overkill for me. I'm not recording music. I just want to connect the speakers to my computer to play music. Any other USB solutions?
BartolomeoThanks. I didn't realize that. The last monitors I had had a built-in DAC. KEF X300As. Traded them in for LS50s which are in my main system. They were more than I needed for computer.
Come to think of it, I have a CENtrance DACPort that isn't busy.
BogartThey only have a balanced input...so if you go from unbalanced (consumer grade 1/8th jack) to balanced you might have a noisy signal...just google unbalanced vs balanced audio... You can go straight from 1/8th if you want
WillFabulous speakers. They sound almost full range. You may know they were the first product ever to win both Stereophile's Budget Product of the Year and it's overall Product of the Year. (Not that they are "budget priced" in the real world.) And, you lucky bastard, they're now available in gloss white with electric blue drivers.
