Question about Fubar IV

[KnishofDeath]

Ok here goes, If I hook up my iMac to the Fubar IV via USB, then hook up my PC via the optical connection will both output to to my speakers? (Swan d1080MKII) I will not be playing audio with both at the same time, just don't want to unhook stuff.

Also just to make sure, when I plug in headphones to the amp it should cut the speakers off yes?

Just want to make sure this will work the way I expect it to before I spend the money, thanx.

That's a good question. Email Todd at support (at) audiophileproducts.com

Let us know what he says.

I am interested in the answer to this as well, however, with respect to the FUBAR III instead of the IV (should work the same way nonetheless)

Ok I emailed him this morning, they got back to me fast

Hi Randall,

Thank you for your interest in the Fubar IV.

Yes, you can connect the USB from your MAC and the optical from your PC at
the same time. The Fubar IV gives priority to the USB and then the optical,
so as long as the USB signal is present the Fubar IV will not see the
optical.

I do a similar thing with two Macs. USB from one and Optical from the other.
Its necessary to power of the USB computer before using the optical input
from the other computer.

The Fubar IV does not cut the signal to the speakers when you connect your
headphones. It will play both at the same time. The volume knob controls the
headphone output. The RCA outputs are line-outs.

Thanks again, any other questions please give me a shout.

All the best

Looks like I am going to have to find something else that can accommodate what I am trying to do. Any suggestions?

Check out the Beresford TC7250 I am pretty sure it will do what you are after given that you can select which input to use on the front of the unit.

thanx for the suggestion. I emailed them about the headphone thing

I've got a Audio-GD Fun, I like it alot. Its got a knob on the front to switch input between usb, optical, and coaxial. Also has a line in button. Which is like a 4th option i guess, it disables dac to use linein. Only downside is this thing is kinda big, well mostly just wide.
