Tiamat v2 USB Power Without Computer / No PC

Hi, I'm trying to work out how to get these to work without the PC on. As far as I can see from the site the USB just provides power to the headset, which is all I need, as I'd like to use the headset to listen to films as it's plugged into AVR pre-outs, and I'm getting a sumptuous gaming performance from that. However, I can't seem to get sound (indeed the 7.1 light will not come on) unless the USB is plugged into a PC that's turned on. This is less than ideal, but am I just not using powerful enough USB slots? I've used the (powered) USB slot on the front of the AVR, and I hear the speakers "chck" so I know power is flowing into the unit. However I get nothing from the sound. I also tried a DC 5V 1000mA output socket on a plug, to no avail. Does anyone have solutions here? Raspberry Pi? Any solutions will be gratefully received!

Tiamat v2 Sub / Center 3.5mm & Pre-Outs

Hi I'm using the Tiamat to plug into the pre-outs (RCA outputs) on an AVR, and I couldn't see anywhere in the manual, or on here what the official configuration should be to set it up, particularly for the subwoofer and center channels. I don't wish to blow out any of the speakers by plugging the center channel into the subwoofer, so could you please tell me which is configured to the red side of an RCA converter cable (like this) to avoid any mishaps? I wouldn't want to invalidate any clauses in returnability, etc! :-o Best Eliot ------------ PS - I've asked the community about AVR connectivity, and if I should use headphone amps for each channel, but I'd appreciate your input, too, if you have any. :-)

Tiamat 7.1 v2 on AVR Pre-Outs (analogue RCA outputs)

Hiya Brand new Tiamat owner, here. I'm going to be hooking this up to an AVR receiver's 7.1 pre-outs (line level RCA outputs) and was wondering ... Should I place cheap headphone amps between each input to the Tiamat, or will the level on the pre-outs be enough to send decent audio to the cans? It's an Integra DTR30.6 AVR, if that helps, and according to one of the manuals this is the "Rated RCA Output Level and Impedance" [INDENT]200 mV/470 Ω (PRE OUT, PRE/LINE OUT)[/INDENT] The reason why I ask is that the product itself states you can plug it straight into your motherboard outputs which I would assume have a similar (or less) powerful output. However, I have also read that this is basically the worst idea in the world. ;-) ANYWAY ... there's my question, apologies for the ramble! Best E PS - Did a bit of searching, and couldn't quite find an answer ... this one didn't help, unfortunately.
