No hum when connected to player - sounds like inputs dont have a shunt resistor.
The low-output - I have done the same thing before. Turned out one of the speaker terminals was touching the chassis. I would do the continuity test on the signal path...Make sure that inputs and outputs are isolated correctly.

did you converted your emu output to unbalanced ?
I bet that's culprit
edit :
to make my self more clear - you need to connect output from emu card in unbalanced manner .
I'm not familiar with your card - does it have sort of XLR connectors ?
in that case , tie 1&3 marked pins on XLR cable connector ; that;s gnd
pin No.2 is hot
No bias current on my F5

I'm having problem with my F5 having bias currents. Now I have taken out the channels from heat sink and slowsly increased the P1 and P2. But I don't see the voltage more than ~100mA. The voltage across the P2 never goes higher than ~3.2V even when I go the way up in N-channel part, while across P1 I can get higher than 4.2V. In both channels I can't get more than 0.1V across R11 and R12. I have replaced all transistors in N parts, and there is no change. Could anyone please let me know how I can go around finding the culprit? Thanks!

now i connected the f5 amp to the speaker output of my denon pma495 r amp(denon amp has 70watt output for 4ohms) with a 13,6uf(paralel of 2x6,8uf) mkp coupling capacitor..i am surprised..amp is now playing loudly and very well
there is no hum buzz or sth like that i didnt understand..what is the input voltage of f5 amp?..i think i need a very high gain preamp 
Chokes
Hello,
For the PS I'm thinking of a CLC
Browsing in the RS components I find some cheap common mode chokes of 10mH, 5A
http://be02.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=getProduct&R=4890419
Can these chokes be used in the PS for an F5 ? One coil of the choke in series with the + supply and the other coil in series with the - supply.
Regards,
Danny

did you read what I wrote as Re - few posts above ?
you need few V for full blast from F5 , not speaker level from amp !
yes of course i read it.an f5 amp must play with few voltages.but my amp doesnt play with few voltage..i didnt understand..but now it is playing very good with amp output ..i didnt understand the problem.. bias is ok..voltage is ok..is the input sensitivity 1.5 volts for 25watts class a mode in normal conditions?

you probably tried balanced output from your EMU card - to connect to F5 , which is equipped with unbalanced input .
what you need is to connect balanced feed in unbalanced manner .
I wrote you how , suspecting that you have XLR connectors on EMU side
