@audphile1 Ok. I'm new to all this which is why I'm asking... So I think I'm missing something about sources: Reading my MSB manual, it has Low (-6db) and High ("Standard"db) output settings. So sources can present to the preamp with different voltages....did not know that before. Is switching between sources with these differing input voltages what would cause the potential overload? (Or do preamps always expect to receive the same input voltages across sources)?
Subwoofer with XP-22 in unity gain
Given the Pass Labs XP-22 is set for Unity Gain on input 1, can I connect my sub to an RCA output and be able to feed the subwoofer?
Notes:
- I am not using volume control on the MSB DAC
- I currently have the sub plugged into the AVR
- I know there is no real point to the XP-22 in the diagram - still want to know if this will work tho

@testpilot bruh, the last sentence of the first paragraph on page 6 of my manual says:
|
@testpilot My DAC only has balanced outputs & Input 5 is single-ended. |
@audphile1 if system volume is set to 89 (0db gain) then what is the harm in switching to another line level input (say a phono)? |
@audphile1 Thanks for this. As you can see, I'm trying to extract a hifi system from my current HT step-by-step while keeping them both usable. My end goal a separate hifi system (below). (Replace the AVR with AGD Vivace amps) and in this scenario, this is the way to utilize the subwoofer, right? (I'll get another sub dedicated for the HT)
