Can I use this with a pair of bi-amped powered monitors?

The HAPZ1ES does not have a volume control and so is not suited to directly driving powered monitors. The volume buttons on the remote that were mentioned are intended to control a SONY amplifier. The HAPZ1ES cannot control volume on its own.

My understanding is that the volume control on the Sony HAPZ1 works only when it is coupled to a Sony ES type receiver. I believe you will be required to provide some other method of volume control when it is used with other products. Provided that you have a line level preamp between the HAPZ1 and the amplifiers, you should be OK>

This unit has a line level analogue input so it should work with powered speakers.

The Sony does not have a level (volume) control so it will work with amplifiers or amplified monitors only if they have their own level controls.

The answer is a qualified yes. I've used a pair of powered JBL monitors directly coupled to the HAPZ1ES. However since the unit's line out level is fixed one needs to adjust volume at the monitors -- the Hi-Res music player has no volume or EQ controls; the volume buttons on the remote are meant to control a preamp or AVR. I've since installed a balanced line Mackie VLZ4 mixer between the JBLs and the HAPZ1ES, allowing full tonal control of the sound source.

This can be used like any other audio component in an audio system; cd player. To use the internal DAc, you just connect the L&R; RCA jacks into a receiver or pre-amplifier.

I don't know why not. It has unbalanced and balanced outputs, so is compatible with any line level input. Although it is intended to be used with a line level preamp, it does have a remote control volume so it should be possible to use without a preamp. Hope this helps.

This unit has both balanced and unbalanced inputs and your monitors has volume control, should work.....the HAPZ1ES is a great unit withstanding sound quality....I highly recommend !

Yes, I am using it for this right now. One monitor is on the built-in HDMI port, the other is using this adapter.

Yes you can use one but you need two to have the left and right channel. the sound is amazing good monitors

The UMC-200 is a 'pre-amp' and it's designed to only take a pre-amp signal input. If your active monitor has a pre-amp output it would work, but I'm not sure why you would want to do that.

You need to run RCA signal cables for both. I used a BOSS video splitter for four monitors.

sorry, I used it to hook up a second monitor I don't know if it would work for you

I do not believe so, as the output is singular to one display. I think what you want is this: http://www.monitorsanywhere.com/

Yes. The "monitor out" isn't powered, so you'll need to either have a power amp for monitors, or use powered speakers.

You could bi-amp if you are willing to use channels 6-7 to do so. But using the same amp as a bi-amp source will not result in the improvement you seek. But yes, you can if you wish. Check out the forums on the Emotiva web site.

I"m not using adapters, but get great pictures on two monitors using dvi. Not sure why you wouldn't be.

I've actually been thinking about this, too. I haven't done this myself yet but the only way I see is to go through the tape out RCA outputs. From there you can feasibly go to another set of powered monitors...that's what I would try.

You can get away with two outputs on any mini display port to VGA or DVI adapter that mates your monitors but you will need VISIONTEK ACTIVE ADAPTERS after the initial two outputs. These are available with various output connections and the part number will vary based on the connection type

Yes, you can bi-amp them. They come with bridges to connect the two sets of posts, which can be removed for bi-wiring if you want.

Naturally no, but its potentially possible to use 2 of these at the same time if you buy an adapter that allows for dual monitors.

Yes. 4 monitors at 8 ohms each brings your impedance load down to 2 ohms (in typical parallel connection). Not all amps can handle 2 ohms (it's almost a dead short) but this amp is rated for 2 ohms so it should be fine, according to the specifications. But if that's all you want the amp to do, I suggest 2 monitors per side (the amp is actually 2 amplifiers in one). That would be a 4 ohm load and would be better for the amp long term. I would avoid running it in bridged mode (adding both sides together) just because it's a cheap amp and I wouldn't run it to it's limits.

Yes, you can. You don't have to use 2 monitors. For the card or cable to work properly

Yes, but one needs to be connected via hdmi and second via usb or one of them needs to be a true thunderbolt monitor. Putting an adapter on thunderbolt output will not work.
