Will These Two Work Together?

Will these two work together?

If yes, how do I connect them to source and headphones/speakers?

no

Technically yes, but I don't really see the point. You would need to lave the volume pot on the DAC/amp at 100% and use the pre-amp to control the volume.

 

They connect like you would expect. All the connections are labelled clearly.

he can't use the tube thing for his headphones, since the combo only have outputs, but yeah for speakers sure.

Nevermind, it's analog out, not in. Woops.

If he gets that DAC/amp, he can.

no? It doesn't have any inputs for analog, only digital inputs

Yeah you could do: onboard -> tube preamp -> combo

 

I would say it is highly unlikely that you would be able to use the DAC in the combo if you want to use that tube preamp, since then it would be: combo -> tube preamp -> combo. I have yet to see a combo that can do that.

But if I have the FX-Audio Tube-01 and I want to use it for listening to music from my computer to headphones... what other things (dac, amps etc.,) will I need to make it work and how do I set them up?

as I said before you can connect your PCs onboard to the tube-01 via a 3.5mm to stereo RCA and then get an amp which you can connect to the tube 01 via a stereo RCA.

If you don't want to use onboard, then you will need to buy a separate DAC

Thanks Dackzy !!.... Really Helpful
