I'm new to the audiophiles world.

After doing researches, I'm more or less understand how head-fi works.. like the basic ipod>dac>amp>phones combo..

but I'm still rather confused with PC audio setup.. what kind of setup I can have if I have a entry bookshelf speaker like r1900t3?

let me know I'm posting at wrong place.. but do we have a guide for starters?

thanks for replying. dat E9 + E17 combo price is is the E9 currently available are E09K? cause I saw some pic don't have pre-out nor aux-in

my current setup is Asus Xonar DX output to Logitech X-540 5.1 as well as R1900TIII by splitting the front channel. is it wise to do so? I heard the signal would be degraded.

and.. I plan to acquire ATH-M50.. need advice on how should I setup them so that I can fully utilize them:

x-540 for movies and games (if can hook up R1900T3 along also not bad)
r1900t3 and m50 for music

at first I thought of skipping the DAC because I already have the xonar dx but I think that'll be a waste for M50.

OR use E09 to hook up both r1900t3 and m50

E9 is a DAC as well?

E9i or E9K?

E10 works well with M50 and R1900TIII?
