Yes, my SB2 directly drives the power amps in ATC active speakers, and works fine (with the proviso that you need a separate ground strap to prevent the balanced inputs on the ATC interpreting the slight ripple on the screen as signal and amplifying it into a fairly alarming hum!).
However, if you're using Naim power amps, this might not be a good idea. Naim power amps rely on a bandwidth-limited preamp to avoid instability problems. Don't know how they might react to a naked SB analogue signal. -- cliveb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21643 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
