Hello
Class-D amplifiers normally drive the 8Ω speakers.So they are normally Power Amplifiers in many applications.
Can we use them as a preamplifier to amplify the signal to line level?
If I have to drive the Output of Class-D to Class-AB (LM4780) Power amplifier,Is it possible to drive like that?
If not possible what is the alternate solution?

All amps would be classA if not for its massive inefficiency. For a preamp driving a very light load, the inefficiency isn't an issue. Hence preamps can be classA without significant penalty. Why would we need them to be classD?
You can use an LM4780 in a preamp if you like, it'll probably run pure classA. It might have too much gain though.
