I have a silly question; how can I connect active speakers in to MX3?

ScielientaUnless you're using the internal crossover to pull out the low frequencies for a sub, it seems like it would be easier to plug your powered speakers directly into your source. If you just need a DAC you're better off with a purpose-built DAC. But if you already have the MX3 and intend to use it with powered speakers you could use the headphone jack as a pre-out. Set the amp to "dB volume mode" and the volume to 0.0 dB, run a 3.5mm to RCA cable from the headphone out to your powered speakers and voila. If you need to have the subwoofer out as well you could get some banana plug to RCA cables and run those to the speakers. In that configuration 0.0 dB is probably too much to push to another amp. I would just find the lowest volume level that works and leave it there. In either configuration I would avoid using the volume control on the MX3 because you run the risk of blowing out the speakers or frying their circuit board(s) if the volume gets too high.
