I have a Asus Xonar U3 USB sound card and a Fiio E10 USB Dac. Could i possibly use this, with my headphones, to switch between the two?

I saw your question and removed the speakers that were connected to the output jack and plugged in a headset... worked perfectly.

This sound card is an Express Card slot and not a PCMCIA slot. They are totally different slots. It will not work.

I am not that big into audio cards so I wouldn't know the perfect answer, but if you are to use these speakers, it would be best if you got a pretty good sound card that is pricier than the norm. Not top grade type of card, but somewhere mid ranged. Sorry, but I could not provide an example because of my inexperience, but check some cards out like these ones (if these are within your budget).

Maybe. The E7 when used as the output for a computer (defaulting sound device as usb-dac), the signal processing is bypassing the on board processor and outputting directly to the E7. I think bypassing on board sound to the E7 also disables the mic input. So I see how it's possible to usb connect the E7 and then use one of the headphone jacks as a connect to the mic, but I haven't tried this yet. I will check this later once I find a computer with a mic input.

Any DAC will do fine. I have mine hooked up to my Fiio E07k. One could also plug it directly into the PC's headphone line out as well.

This should work being as it is just a USB port. HOWEVER it is not: NOTE: this sound card is not compatible with Mac systems. from the details

In one time, I have two USB sound cards, one integrated sound card on mother board, and a DAC. So yes, you just have to choose you playback device.

Yes, the headphone or speaker 3.5mm output, of the PC, could be connected to the system's 3.5mm AUX input.

You need a dedicated sound card that supports two outputs. I used the audio 2 Dj from native instruments with my mixtrack and loved using it. It has two 1/2" line outputs that are fed via USB.

I do not know if that would work or not. I have only been using one. My inclination is that it would not work because with the Windows control panel under "Sound and Audio" devices, it usually only allows one main audio output device to be assigned to one of the USB ports. Hope that helps. Dave

No, only inputs for audio from 1/4", RCA, or XLR. You would need to have an audio interface in order to switch between monitors and headphones.

No. However the "ASUS Xonar DGX PCI-E GX2.5 Audio Engine Sound Card" will since it is a PCI-E x1 sound card (which is compatible in a pci-e x4 slot).It is basically the same card but for the newer form factor PCI-E. (link: ASUS Xonar DGX PCI-E GX2.5 Audio Engine Sound Cards )

Your board has Soundblaster cinema onboard. If you get the right software for that, it will be fine. It has a very decent onboard amp that is capable of driving headphones, and you won't find a significant difference in quality here. If you are getting any sort of hum, whine, static, or other noise when using the analog outs, you will probably get that with the Asus card also. In that case, you can use the optical digital out and use a decent DAC like the Fiio D3 or E3.

I'm not sure, you may need to contact ibasso. I use mine with a Fiio Andes DAC and Shure 215 IEMs with no problem. I've also used it by itself with various headphones and never had a problem.

do u mean u want to listen to 2 different audio sources through the same headphone?

Well the question is a bit confusing. I am not sure what you mean by work with these USB speakers, but yeah you can plug both of them into separate USB ports. Every time you want to use your headphones, you will need to change the audio device being used in settings manually or plug out the usb receiver for the speakers. Obviously I have never tried this myself so there might be driver conflict issues.

Hi Scott yes you can. you may need to use the built in phono pre=amp to do it, but it should work, try it with the usb first
