Wow, didn't know that it could also be used as a power amp only, wonder if the Diablo 120 can be also.??

yeah it can. I’ve done it on mine and went through the ‘blessing/reminder’ to set your preamp volume to low or stop any playback if you decide change back…sigh.
In my case, I couldn’t tell a difference between bypassing the preamp over using the XLR in from a Lumin X1. To my ears the Gyphon volume attenuation is pretty good, compared to preamp/LeedH. Ended up using XLR for the extra gain.
