in putting together the ingredients to have a good crossover/speaker measurement and design station, some doubts are emerging about the various connections between the sound card and the speakers.
and if instead of using active speakers (which I do not own) but which I see most people using, I exit the computer with the USB sound card (new), go to an amplifier and then to the passive speakers? (just completed)
could this be a valid path?

thnakU mark,
and so far so good 🙂
so theoretically I could use the video card as a pre and connect it to a power amplifier?
(this would avoid the purchase/project I had in mind to make a hybrid one)
if the audio card manages a power amplifier well, I would have an old school LINN and also a Quad that could drive my 2-way to dedicate to the computer for all the various tests.

Pay attention to the (required) reference levels. Not every video or audio card can drive a power amp to the max. And the other thing is: be cautious with your volume control.
I have a project in mind that involves my amplifier (top-level car audio) which as a precaution I will pass through a double pre to be safe on the levels.

to simplify the measurement and listening equipment in the station, maybe and I say - maybe - I will take the active speakers.
omg, I have always hated them.
don't you also think that the amplified speakers are acid, cold and too shrill?

I was thinking, I was reflecting... if by putting my hands on a Creative 5.1 audio system, modified in 2.1 by placing two satellites one above the other and changing the cut of the low/low satellite to remove all the highs above 900hz (the satellites are coaxial) I have given a certain balance to the sound of this system that I bought many years ago, why not take two active speakers and in case if they were acid, give them a certain balance?
