Question Choosing audio receiver

[Hugo162]

Hi!

I'll get straight to the point.

My equipment:
-Yamaha nx-e100 monitors with standard speaker wire (60-110w)

-Jm labs cub 1 active subwoofer using rca input

-PC

So I need a amp/reciever to plug everything in to my pc (preferably through usb)

Budget: sub 500$ (preferably 200$)

Thanks if you want to help me and I'm sorry if there already were a thread for this

Best regards Hugo

What is wrong with your current setup?
You have two active pieces of audio equipment - subwoofer, and stereo speakers. And they probably work fine together. Any receiver you get will make your NX-E100 obsolete.

A nice USB audio interface feeding the RCAs is probably all you need.

Hi and thanks for the reply, but i think you misunderstood.

The monitors are not active so currently i cant use them, without a reciver with a speaker wire input aswell as a rca output for the subwoofer i have no way of pluging it in to my computer.

I have a Scarlett 2i2 gen 2 witch is a pretty nice usb interface but sadly that wont work with the equipment i have.

Hope i cleared things up

OK, that makes sense, I was misled by the description.

Do you need audio only, or you plan to use your "new receiver" with more than one video-capable source (eg PC and console)?
