<div>I'm writing to notify of success with the db60xg -- thanks Rui, for turning me on to this great $20.00 synth!! Only remaining mystery is how to get qjackctl to open both the analog (hw:6,0) and digital (hw:6,1) parts of the Dynex dx-sc51 so I can have independent headpone monitors and SPDIF->main monitor.... </div>

I'll save my money for later and get a decent quality external TOSlink->analog, which is all I'll need to drive the "mains" without fear of computer noise or ground-loops, which is IMHO the right way to get sound out of a computer driving a PA....</div>
