it is a apos gremlin and it has USB and the pink green blue one forget what it is called

yeah i got the one in the link

If you are not looking to spend much money, I would get a dongle DAC with balanced output (like the TRN Black Pearl or something) and a 4.4mm to dual-XLR cable.
Edit: didn't notice it had a 4.4mm input as well... you can skip the XLR

Yeah reread your title and amended my post. Pink green blue doesn't mean much to me....some sort of analog outputs on your pc? What is the usb to xlr cable particularly?

Yes, the specifics of that conversion cable. I assume the standard audio jacks are rca type? Does the Apos have such input?

it is a cheap amaozn one so i think it may be the issue

How does a stereo signal come out the single xlr? Your amp has some special accommodation for a single xlr for "stereo" output?

 

[staticV3]

The Gremlin has 2x 3pin XLR Balanced input, as well as 4.4mm Peantaconn input.

The least expensive way to feed it audio would likely be a 4.4mm headphone dongle.

You can look on Hifigo, Linsoul, Shenzhenaudio for Dongle DACs, sort by Price: Ascending, and look for the first dongle that has the extra chunky 4.4mm connector.

So you'd need a usb cable converter to have two xlr outputs, yes? Or am I missing something?

It doesn't, as you can tell by the fact that he's not getting stereo sound

Computer->USB->Dongle DAC->Pentaconn->Gremlin is what I'm proposing .

Brief look has that as a 5 pole device....

Stereo differential + GND, yes.

Stereo differential + GND, yes.

Interesting
