Hi
I have an IMac G5 and use Reason Software with an M-Audio Oxygen8 midi controller to create music. All of my music will be created on my IMac, no external instruments or microphones. I am getting a pair of powered monitors Tapco S5's and I'm not sure how I'm supposed to connect them. Can I just use the headphone jack and get a mini-jack to RCA lead? Or do I need an audio interface? Any help much appreciated. |

The headphone out will also function fine as a line out for your speakers. Just don't expect run of the mill computer headphone outs to have the same performance and fidelity as a dedicated stand alone digital to audio converter.
But I certainly think that's a purchase you can put off while you get the comfortable on the rest of your rig. Scott |

Thanks Scott
How much of a difference would a seperate DAC make? If I got a cheap audio interface like the Behringer FCA202, would it be an improvement on the IMac's audio out? Or would I need to spend a lot more on an audio interface to hear a difference? Thanks |
