.5 volts is an unusually low input sensitivity for an amp. You can put an attenuator between the amp and preamp to fix the problem. This Schiit SYS will work!

Output / Input Voltage Question
If I have a preamp that outputs 1.5v, but the amp's input is .5v, would this be the reason I don't have much headroom when I turn the volume up? What is an ideal voltage match for preamp/amp combo? Sorry if this is a dumb question. Electrical stuff is not a strong point for me.

If the volume control is too loud at a low setting you have no range to lower the volume. This guy explains volume controls and how they work! https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=volume+control+too+loud+on+preamp&docid=608045585391227187&... |
