sound card as pre-amp? (1 Viewer)

Hi guys I just bought a jucy power amp as a spur of the moment thing 900 bucks second hand its a good one... My question is this...can I use a high quality sound card as the pre-amp or will this be cutting corners?

Cheers,
Matt

Okay Ive got my amp still waiting for some sick speakers to arrive. I need a sound card with a built in, preferrably adjustable sub crossover, with 1v (I think) line level outputs.... and quality sound of course!! Any suggestions? Please?

There is a lot of information over on AVSforum about using either the X-FI Elite Pro or the X-Meridian as a pre-amp. It is the HTPC section and should be easy to find by searching X-Fi Elite Pro. Several people are doing it but haven't looked into it in great detail yet myself.
