I have a 4 channel amp and a headunite with 3 sets of rca outputs.
It also has a disc changer control input that i do not use.
I was wondering if I am using a computer to play cds/dvd/etc.. will the sound quality be the same as a good headunite?
Like for my headunite all three rca's give out 4volts and 8volts if in balanced line. How many volts is a computer going to output?
Also If I want to use my headunite for radio and cd's still you said there is a input on soundcard that goes directly out then what happens when i want to use a dvd do i have to switch the rca's on my amp from headunite to computer???
