    Oh well…. the FOCUSRITE Solo seems to be a nice alternative. It’s #1 in the lower price segment at my favourite seller:

    The direct comparison shows it offers more features but costs less:

    Seems to be a good choice, thanks for the advice! Its output is Cinch, so there should be no problem to find a cable Cinch->XLR. Or is it better to supply the monitors via RCA?

    OK, so… when I think about, i wanna use these monitors 70/30 for producing/dj-practice.
    When I say producing, I mean… re-editing , mashing up, remixing songs. I will not be that High-end producer at first.

    Some other thoughts: I dont have a Mac oder Laptop. I’ve got a classic tower with on-board sound (yes it’s okay to laugh^^).
    So I thought about an USB audio interface like the Native Instruments Audio 2. It’s small, it’s cheap and it’s good hardware with 24bit Audio. Think it is a good thing to start with. I know many producers use the Apogee but it is too expensive for me.
    The NI Audio 2 has 2x 3.5 headphone jacks. I want to buy an 3.5-to-XLR cable …. so I can feed the monitors via XLR.
    Is there a loss of quality if the sound signal goes through USB to 3.5 back to XLR?

    Thanks for your help.

    I need a good compromise.
    I want some good speakers standing 0,5m away from me on my desk. Right now I’m already creating mashups and re-edit songs. But my speakers are not good for that and they are in 2 different corners in my room now.

    There are 2 articles on DigitalDjTips about the S-DJ05s and the S-DJ50Xs. And I hope the author could help me which had are better. The 05s are from 2012 and the original price was about 700-900$. The 50Xs now are 150$ each (new!). So there is a little difference and I’m asking myself if you can hear the difference.

    Not sure if the Rokits are too heavy when standing 0,5m away from me.
