I had recently bought the m570’s headphones and wanted to get an amp too, so I got the JDS atom amp, but I had not known that they didn’t come with cables. I’m not sure what cable I should be getting. should i just be using a 3.5 audio jack or should I be getting an RCA L and R to 3.5 audio jack?

I had gone onto the forum since I wasn’t sure where I would connect on my sound card and i got some help and was told to just connect it to the Front L R cable, but now that I have the amp and it didn’t come with cables I’m not sure what cable I should be getting.

also what volume should my windows volume be at now that I have an amp? Should I put it 100% and adjust the volume on the amp?image

So you would just get a 3.5mm to rca cable

And on windows, you would set your digital volume to max and control with the amp

btw quick question should I turn on the gain and have a lower volume on the amp or should I leave it off and go higher in volume? for gain the knob is around 7 from 0 and low gain is around 3 from 12

You want to choose the gain that would give you the best volume range

what do you mean by the best volume range? how would i test this?

10

really? M0N always seems to have time for me.

So you shouldn’t have to crank it to get to listenable volume, and you shouldn’t have it where it gets too loud too quick, sorry for the confusion. You would just set this by ear

its a fluke

For me with these headphones it get too loud after 8 with high gain and with low gain I have to go around 3 to get to a good volume

14

Hmm, I would say low gain it is then

15

is there anything else I should probably know for the future with this setup that you can think of?

16

Not really, it should be fairly simple unless the software on the soundcard gets screwed up or something

alright thanks again
