Output voltage for Music Hall cd-25?


I am thinking about going to a passive preamp and need to know what the output voltage on the Music Hall mmf cd-25 is. It is not listed in the specs in the manual or website. I have an Underwood HiFi level 1+ mod, but that should not make a difference (I think). It uses the Burr-Brown PCM 1738 24-bit/192kHz DAC. Can anyone help me?

The standard is 2V -- but that doesn't precisely answer yr question.
Underwood HiFi should know, however. Ask not only the voltage, but also,
the output IMPEDANCE: reference (usually measured @ 1kHz) & max;
also calculate the wattage.

You need energy from the cdp to drive the IC and the amp directly. I.e. yr cdp should have a good output stage. Otherwise, the result will be "thin", i.e. lacking in energy as you go fm midbass down.
