@nopiano Much appreciated :)

Just rtfm for the A5+s, they support multi input it looks like so I decided to rtfm for the Pioneer's and it had this to say on their support site: So it's all good.

@nopiano @Gray Thx you guys scared me a little with those responses prior to the last post... o_O

@nopiano @Gray I disconnected the Pioneer speakers from 3.5mm after conducting such experiment. Is there any possibility that I hurt any of my components, sound card with 3.5mm to the speakers, USB DAC with RCA to the speakers, or the speakers themselves? Should I perform some sort of test...

@Gray Just experimented around and with both inputs the sound volume drops quite significantly. Sounds good still hard to tell if the quality is noticeably lower or not.

@12th Monkey Tinkering and learning is fun too, but yes I admit I have a tendency towards perfection :) And I do enjoy the music :)

@Dom That's for USB right?

@Dom My SNR looks to be 117.8 or 119. I guess they used USB for this? Is that good? https://www.schiit.com/products/modi-plus https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/schiit-modi-dac-review.39435/

@Dom What happens if the audio is at a sample rate not listed in the supported rates for digital optical when playing in exclusive mode? Does the system upsample/downsample? Also what do you recommend, USB or digital optical for the DAC connection? USB can introduce noise can't it while digital...

The title says it and you can see from these two screenshots that the supported formats for analog and digital output from my computer on Windows 10 differ. Does that mean digital output doesn't support sampling frequencies other than what's listed? Does this apply to exclusive mode output in...

@Gray One related question - if I'm playing audio via an external DAC hooked up RCA to the Pioneer's, and there is only an occasional blip of audio like a notification sound on the other input, the 3.5 mm mini jack, will I still experience signal degradation considering most of the time there's...

@Gray Thx dude, as usual you are loaded with information :) I didn't hurt my babies did I?

@12th Monkey This way I can not only have two computers hooked up to one set of speakers, but also have one computer hooked up via two ways, so I can do exclusive mode audio playback at the same time as normal computer audio notifications and stuff like that. @Cork I'm talking about multiple...

Just wondering if when you hook up multiple inputs on speakers like 3.5 mm mini jack audio and RCA audio if the signals are combined without signal degradation? So I guess they just stack the audio waves on top of each other? Thanks!

This is what I'm talking about. To remove this effect I hooked up USB power to my UPS and audio signal to digital optical on the computer. I'm curious if using USB power in this way removes the unwanted noise or not, and also the same for digital coax instead of digital optical. Something you...
