What speakers? It'll probably have a fair bit of distortion and clipping. Clipping can damage the voice coils in speakers.

Hmmm this is the first I've heard of this issue.
Would I be prone to distortion and clipping just using the DAC section of a USB DAC for speakers, and using both the DAC and the amp for headphones?

Hmm, Xonar DG should be arriving tomorrow. Just as my headphones hit 50 hours of burn in.

Can't wait.

Those speakers are amped so you can just ignore everything I said. I thought you meant connecting HI-FI speakers to the headphone out redface.gif

How would Grado's fair in gaming, when using a sound card?

Something like the SR125i Prestige Edition?

It's for a friend.
