True, but the concern is not what it can successfully drive to ffull amplitude, but rather how low of a resistance it takes to actually damage it if it _tries_ to drive it. AKM advises there's no chance a 100R load would damage it (in fact, this is a typical resistance used for RCA outs) - the issue was that you'd get some (probably not a lot) distortion in the case of improper balun wiring, due to additional load when listening to one leg of the output while the other is drawing a lot of current. I haven't actually tried this but it makes sense... anyway, it's only an issue if someone hooks it up in a very wrong way. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27445 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
