Question about amplifier input sensitivity
I'd like to use my Wadia di122 DAC as a preamp and I've been looking for amps that have an input sensitivity > 2 volts - which is what Wadia recommends. Their actual quote in the manual is this: "...due to a wide range of power amplifier designs, it is important the input sensitivity of the amplifier be at least 2 volts. This will assure the playback of of most music recordings are reproduced with adequate dynamic range."
I've researched about ten amps and they all range from 1 - 1.5 volts. The only two amps I found that were at least 2 volts were Mark Levinsons which are way out of my price range.
Is this a recommendation that I really need to follow? Are they suggesting that there won't be enough gain from "lesser" amps? The only other relative specs I have for the Wadia, per the manual, are a variable output level of 0.0-4.0 Vrms for the unbalanced outputs and 0.0-8.0 for the balanced outputs. I'm not sure this matters, but the output impedance is less than 100 ohms for both balanced and unbalanced sections.
Is something I really need to worry about when looking for an amp? FWIW, I was looking at a PrimaLuna Prologue Four which has an input sensitivity of just 600 mVrms!
Thanks in advance for any help or advice on this subject.
