Topic: M-Audio Transit Sound Card and Speakers

[Tenn Man]

I'm not sure how the M-Audio Transit works. Do I attach it to my computer via USB and then it becomes my soundcard? Can I then plug computer speakers into the Transit?

Can I also plug in my stereo receiver to the Transit in additon to or instead of the computer speakers so that the audio from the computer is going to my stereo?

What kind of cables are needed for the Transit?

Thanks

I believe the Transit is designed for digi-out only although it has a headphone out i do not believe it is very good. 


Traditional Setup:
Transit > DAC > Amp > Speakers

Some speakers like the Edirol 10D have digital inputs.

If you are looking at taking an analog signal out of you soundcard w/o an outboard DAC(or speakers w/ built-in DAC) I would look into the audiophile series.

The transit is easily modified to sound much better if you are handy with a soldering iron.  I can post some links if so.

thats incorrect, you can use the line output which sounds pretty good , I'd say very good if you are comparing it to stock sound cards.  I run it line out in my klipsch 2.1 system, it works great.
