OT: MX300 and External AMP hookup

by Rick Sweene » Mon, 20 Sep 1999 04:00:00

Anyone get an external amp to work with the MX300?  Seems simple enough,
had it working with an old Vortex based card for a year.  Will not work
with the MX. Headphones work fine.  I am connecting an RCA\Stereo plug
from my amp to the Line in on the MX.  Speakers are connected to the
amp.

Any suggestions?  Dying to hear NAZ3 with this MX, through my stereo,
sounds killer through headphones.

Is their a Diamond news group which discusses the MX?

Thanks in advance
Rick Sweeney

I tried them all.  The Line in on the sound card is for an external device.
THe two line outs on the MX is for connecting speakers\headphones only.

Well I re-installed everything and put the damn AMP connection in Output 2 and
it works. Go-figure.
