I have a bit of a conundrum I live in an apartment therefore I practice with Headphones 95% of the time. I have a pair of Sennheiser HD650s and a Schiit Asgard 2 headphone amp. When I plug the AX8 L/R 1/4" outs into the Asgards L/R RCA inputs everything sounds great. The problem with this set up is I'm unable to record or playback music from my computer to my headphones. I also have a Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 Firewire interface which I then plug the AX8 L/R 1/4" outs to the Saffire 1/4" input 1/2 then take the Saffire 1/4" outputs 1/2 to the Asgard RCA inputs and everything works as it should but now my AX8 is much less warm and crisp sounding. I'm not sure if my interface is just trash or if there's a better way to go about all this? I'll attach pictures of the back panels on both units.
My two ideas would be to try S/PDIF or plug the AX8 into the Asgard inputs then the Asgard outputs into the Saffire inputs. I imagine I wouldn't be able to record if I did that but it might atleast playback my computer audio.
