What makes this better than the JDS Atom?
Balanced output for better compatibility and channel separation. Lower single ended power, but significant power through XLR, which the Atom does not have.
How do I connect this to my computer? I have an rca cable and I plugged it into the headphone jack of my computer while connecting the red and white cables to the input on the back. When I turn it on I hear a loud static noise.
Headphone jack on a computer is amplified through a typically crappy amp. This is a great amp. Garbage in, garbage out. Get yourself a DAC which will connect to the computer via USB and then connect its output to the THX. There's lots on here to pick from -- Topping, Grace Design, etc.

Can I connect a pair of speakers using the RCA?
The pass through is fixed line level so it would work but you can't use the THX for volume control on those speakers.

As in true dual mono? No, I believe the engineer covered this in the discussion, but if IIRC, according to him, the performance difference is negligible or non-existent.
