Hey all,
I currently have a pair of XENNS Mangrid Tops and a Schiit Magni Unity (with DAC). Definitely overkill but they're so good. However, I am unable to use a Mic with this configuration, hence I am looking for an Audio Interface.
I realised I could still use my Magni Unity if I connect the line out from an audio interface into the line in on my Magni Unity, and then switch to line mode. This will allow me to keep my IEMs plugged into my DAC/AMP and then I can use the USB switch if I just want to listen to things, and then use the line switch if I want to use my microphone.
I have a few questions regarding how the audio interface works with this setup. Will there be noise added, latency, higher volume? Given that I am using a pair of IEMs with a low impedance of around 20 ohms I heard that a lot of audio interfaces can struggle with them if you plug them straight in, so I was wondering if using my setup would counteract this or still have the same issue? Additionally, the main reason I want to use an audio interface for this in the first place is that I want direct monitoring of my incoming mic to my IEMs so I can hear myself. So I was wondering if this also might cause issues or not, given there might be a small bit of latency added.
I think thats enough questions for now, I could talk about what kind of Audio Interface I am looking for but I feel like its important to get some answers to the above questions before I ask for suggestions.
Thanks for the help in advance!
