If you can find a used Timbre TT1 balanced model you would be all set. It had a regular rca output, but also a special buffered 7v output for driving passive preamps. It also had balanced outputs but I don't know what the output voltage of those were. It was a fantastic sounding dac, sold new for around $4K. You can find them used from time to time, usually selling for around $800. Well worth an audition.
High output DAC?
Greetings from Spain
I wonder if anyone can tell me the output levels of some DACs:
I need a high output, balanced DAC.
My line stage has a weak gain even using balanced in/out (Audio Research Ref 3) and I'm dissapointed at having to increase the volume to get response from the preamp. (my phono preamp drives it better!)
I have now the Krell Stealth, but seems to be also weak (maybe 2 v max on balanced?) I tested the Theta Pro Basic II balanced and liked it, but couldn't keep because of the price asked.
Any info is really appreciated.
Thanks!
