The Rothwell 10 dB in-line RCA attenuators were, to my ears, more transparent than the partsexpress units. they do cost quite a bit more but there are significant benefits from operating your system w the volume control more in the middle of its range.
Int. Amp's input sensitivity and DAC's output
Hi,
I'm a little confused (concerned) about the match between my Cambridge Audio DACMagic and my integrated amp. The DACMagic's output is rated at 2.1V rms (unbalanced). My integrated's line input's sensitivity is rated >= 200mV and overload signal level rated >=2V. Now I'm concerned that the DAC is actually driving the pre-amp section of the integrated to overloading levels.
Is this a correct analogy or am I mistaken?
Comments appreciated.
