[QUOTE="user 1447, post: 624458, member: 1447"] i have tested the statement in red - i wouldnt want to keep doing it ie when you try to match the level to what you get with the pre-out, it distorts .... so i think that amplifiers dont like being amplified from an amplifier :nfi: ..... the distortion means that the soundstage collapses a bit and the sound becomes two dimensional and its not as clean as through the pre-outs ie it gets shrill and raspy when using th eheadphone out to an amplifier ..... i used the same brand of interconnects ie 2RCA to 2RCA with the pre-outs and a 3.5mm mini jackpin to 2RCA when using the headphone out - and the pre-out sounds substantially (as opposed to marginally) better could be because of output voltages ..... but im guessing ..... so either way it doesnt sound as good as when you use the pre-outs to an amplifier so this would be the perfect DAC accompaniment to an integrated amp or you would need a pre-amp OR Passive pre-amp in the loop if you wish to use power amps or you can use one of these [url=https://emotiva.com/products/electronics/control-freak]https://emotiva.com/products/electronics/control-freak[/url] [IMG]https://emotiva.com/sites/default/files/styles/product_very_large/public/CONTROLFREAK_UNBAL_0.png?itok=yr_Htkub[/IMG] ie output from the DAC pre-out to the "control freak" since its a passive volume control and then just connect to the power amps .... seems like an easy way out .... the only disadvantage is no remote control for the volume but you can use the remote app in your PC software to fine tune volume levels BTW if you like it as a head-amp it is awesome as a hi-fi fixed DAC using the pre-out ..... IMHO it actually works better this way than as a head-amp ;) so its even better value for money than many people would think [/QUOTE]
