This means anything connected to the line outs is full volume, and because I wanted to play on all 4 outputs at once, I effectively have to keep the main volume knob at full (for level match). Thus I had to use VoiceMeeter Banana and Equaliser APO.Īdditionally, the 'Main' volume knob on the front of the 68c only controls the volume of the 2 main outputs, and not the 2 line outs. It presents itself in windows as 2 separate playback devices 'Main Out 1/2' and 'Line Out 3/4', and the 'Universal Control' driver software has no routing or DSP capability. Once I got my hands on the Studio 68c, I realised it does not achieve any of my 'singular device' goals.

Simple routing of streams to outputs, and DSP etc in Win10.A single volume knob to control all volume levels.Was a singular device, which would hopefully allow for.Has balanced outputs, because my sub is susceptible to ground loops, and my monitors pick up noise from my OLED monitor over RCA too.

Has 3 or 4 discrete channel outputs that I could use for a 2.1 setup.

I got it because it was the cheapest device with decent specs (on paper) that also ticked the following boxes I have been using the aforementioned device for a couple of months.
