Is it possible? Is it safe?
Well, I know it's possible because someone over on M-audio forums was doing it, I just wanted to know if I buy a good power amp and want to hold out on a preamp just to act as a TruHD decoder, why not use the built-in DACs of my Asus Xonar DX and output all 7.1 in analog mode directly into a power amp, skipping a pre-amp entirely.
Is anyone else on this forum using this type of setup for their HTPC?
