Standard output voltage for RCA line-outs DAC/CD/Streamers, etc?


Hi there!
I have a CHORD DAC64 converter, which outputs 3V as line output (XLR seems to be also high-voltage), and this voltage seems to be overloading my amp's inputs.  This was also noticeable on my previous amp.
What is the de-facto standard voltage for line-outs in consumer/hiend electronics?
Any other parameters that needs to be checked when matching electronics?
Thanks!

Dear all,
Thanks for your input.

almarg,
I do remember and do value your input.  I am in the process of getting antennuators for line ins.  However, my question was on how much I actually need to antennuate the signal.  Now I know.

Also, all kinds of adaptors seem to be deteriorating the signal due to additional connections...  On top of that the amps I am planning to use are all unbalanced, so I don't have an option of converting unbalanced into balanced signal.

But thanks again.
