This is HIGHLY dependent on the technical specs of the components involved...specifically, the input sensitivity of the amplifier and the output voltage of the source. A high input sensitivity amplifier will need a high output voltage from the source. If these are not matched correctly, then you'll get sub-optimal performance. So it's not a generalization you can make without knowing the specifics of the components. -- PhilNYC Sonic Spirits Inc. http://www.sonicspirits.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PhilNYC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=837 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36994 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
