i'm new to pro-audio world and i need some advice about how to setup a studio. i got my PC setup with an RME HDSP-9652 + SPDIF A/D D/A converter. Ardour works great. i'm planning to purchase a FocusRite OctoPre/ADAT and a bunch of microphones. i think i need speakers too. Is there anything like digital speakers or digital amps which can accept ADAT directly from my linux box and turn it into sound? Or do i need to convert ADAT to analogue and plug that into a conventional amp/speaker system? Considering how much care i'm taking to record sound digitally, without noise, it seems like i should also take care that the speakers can actually playback my recordings without too much distortion. Anyone have any recommendations? -- Victory to the Divine Mother!! after all, http://sahajayoga.org http://why-compete.org
