direct into an onkyo m588f via balanced .i use phones quite often as well.the 21 has analog volume while the 168 uses the digital domain .any input grapp.
I love my 168! I drive it direct to amps. Unlike other digital VCs, I notice little loss at low levels, BUT all music has a right volume to sound as recorded; they are rarely at low volumes
