Just unboxed my Z20 and noticed that audio port on the keyboard is basically a pass through port. Can this be connected to the NU Audio Pro headphone port using the 1/4 to 1/8 adapter?

    I'd think it would work, but I don't know how things like signal quality and the power needed to drive high ohm headphones might be a factor. For the best quality the most direct connection would be the safest. You could also try the line out connections, if you have an adapter that can merge those into a stereo connection.

    Hello ,
     
    Yes, you can connect to the NU Audio Pro headphone port using the 1/4 to 1/8 adapter.

    I am wondering about the connector and if it has the gold plating and everything that the NU Audio has. I think I might stick with the back port just to know I have the best connection possible and no interference came up.

    I get so much interference from my GPU that I am not really sure its possible to get anymore on the NU Card, lol. I am about ready to switch to external DAC, I am holding out hope that EVGA creates an external version of the NU Card.

    Hello Hoggle,  The 3.5 headphone jack are gold plated to allow for better quality but he USB 2.0 is not gold plated.
