Hi

I'm looking into building a proper DAC, just curious since the option is available, if there is any reason to use 4vrms out or stick to standard 2vrms? Would TSE clip with 4vrms input?

I don't mind turning the knob all the way up though, just curious if any more output will be seen with some gain on the input without clipping.

I happen to have both of my tubelab SE's on the bench right now; a 45 version and a 300B version.

The 45 version clips at approx 1V RMS input and the 300B clips at roughly 1.5V RMS input.

I'm just eyeballing the sine wave for distortion/asymmetry on the scope at 60 hz and 10Khz.
