Is there a loss of sound/bass when using the RCA connectors compared to docking or the USB?

I never tried the usb but I noticed bass loss when using rca cables, when it happens I turn it off and turn it back on and it goes back to normal, but it's annoying,

Yes there is a loss in volume as in effect in loss in volume well of course weaken bass/sound. I just bought a head phone jack amplifier for like 20$ and problem was solved. The docking sounds the best with quality is amazing.

I haven't notice a loss of sound/bass from using the rca's . This Sony system is pretty nice. I bought it for the use of my I-phone4s . Of course as new technology is always around the next corner, the newer I-phones have different docking/charging connections now. UGH !

You'll be able to hook up your sound with the red and white cables. However, I've found that it's at a lot lower volume than going through Bluetooth.

I found this dock had pretty poor audio quality. I'd recommend a higher end dock since they last a while anyways (if they have aux or usb connections) and spending more would make sense in the long term and give higher audio quality.

Thanks for your help. This device is certainly very affordable, do you think my desktop speakers sound quality will suffer from running it through this?

Not sure about ASIO, I didn't get the USB, I'm using S/PDIF from my computer. I did go from a high end sound card (DAL CardDeluxe)'s analog outputs. The Biforst is definitely cleaner and quieter. I feel like bass has a bit more weight. My sound card isn't as new as the Asus but has very good S/N ratios etc. even on the analog outputs. I suspect though an external device sounds cleaner being outside of the electrically noisy computer case. The effect isn't night and day but it was noticeable. I didn't do ABX testing so you'll have to take my subjective review for what it is worth.

My USB attach point moves forward and rearward. I found that it is much harder to connect USB3 connections than USB2. I think you will find the design of most docking base will be the same. If you connector moves side to side return it.

I'm not sure if there's a way it can actually replace your sound card. If I understand the directions right, all the USB port is for is a pass-through to the E7 dock. I have 50 ohm headphones too (HD595) and TBH it really didn't make a noticeable difference on most music. Music already sounded really good, so I'm not really sure what I was expecting with this. Louder music's sounds seems more balanced out, but that's about all I've noticed so far.

I have them connected to my RCA tv using the USB and headphone connections. Works great!

I don't think I've heard any on mine. If you are hearing the hum while using the RCA jacks then maybe trying unplugging it from USB/have the turntable and speakers on separate outlets. If you are hearing it over USB then maybe just try the same isolation but between the computer and the turntable.

The Line-Out sounds is definitely better than the headphone sound. You don't need to use the USB cable, but without it your iDevice won't charge.

Idk, haven't tried it. I keep the dock plugged in my living room. I rarely use my computer...

I'm not techy or a hi fidelity aficionado, but I use Bose USB external speakers and I love the output. This probably isn't much help, but there you go.

No, you do not. The monitor speaker (that is the RIGHT speaker that has the docking receptacle on top) has "TV/Audio" input jacks right above the power cord. You can even use it as a PA system! The system rocks!

I have not had this problem. Have you tried different RCA cables? Also, try checking your computer's sound drives.

Absolutely. Gives off a clean sound, no noise or hums. The cable is very flexible so it won't effect the sound quality. Both ends of the cable are the same so it wouldn't matter which end you plug your bass into, you will still receive the same sound and quality. It's a fantastic value for such a sturdy cable!

I did not have mine long enough to get to use this option. My usb port like all the portable speakers I have gotten online all seem to get loose & disappear into the unit. I had to return mine 3 weeks into owning it & did not repurchase another one. I am sorry I couldn't be of any help on this & hope if you do buy one you do not run into the same issue.
