on that note, if i still go e5xt is there a cheap way to sync the volume of the pair? will the behringer um2 do the job?
Behringer UM2 is very similar to my Behringer UMC22
I have my issues with my UMC22 but that shouldn't be a bother for you since you're just using it as a volume control/DAC
One of my issue is that it creates popping sound during startups. It is not a ground loop or some electric spike. It just... makes popping sounds during startup. They're pretty loud to me since I keep my chinese amps on max volume all the time.
If you want to prolong your speaker life, just wait for your pc to fully on before turning on your speakers.
And turn off speakers before turning off pc.
Annoying trait to adapt to your life but that's a SOP in pro studios hahah.
Highly recommended to buy UM2 if you remember to protect your speakers
Which is why I rather you get the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 in
Post #1290 or the budget version
Scarlett Solo because less obnoxious pops and also have a better sounding DAC for your amazing E5 speaker.
But nah... Go with UM2 and upgrade in the future when its time
Alternative budget method is to use car volume control like these for a direct 3.5mm cable haha
