I was under the impression that most CD players and DACs had a 2V output, though there was no standard. Your Chord does sound high. If you're running it directly into an amp, you might consider using some kind of passive attenuator between the DAC and the amp.
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!
