Trying to get Headphones and DAC/AMP working with Xbox One

Perfect.

Thank you so much for the detailed response.

I’ll follow-up after everything comes in and I test it all.

Cheers!

So just an update to this whole situation.

I ended up getting the Schiit Magni Heresy and split the RCA connections so one is going to my monitor’s 3.5mm port and one to my PC’s 3.5mm port. Everything works as intended!

It was hard getting the mixing right because I had to do it all manually (adjust monitor volume and pc volume).

Only one weird thing that is happening, why does it feel like, since the RCA connections are split, that I am only getting half power from each? Like if I plug just my pc into the amp and crank it, it melts my headphones, but when I connect both, the audio is much quieter.

Why does this happen? Would I need to get a mixamp or something? Or maybe get an RCA audio switch, so when I only want to use one of the inputs, I can get full power from it?

Cheers!
