Shorted RCA jacks

Just trying to understand what would happen to a Pre-amp or a Dac which have a short at their output RCA jacks due to a stray wire or bad solder. Would the circuit in the preamp/Dac get burnt or just that there will be no output at all from them? Also is the power amp or a powered speaker at risk if connected to those outputs ?

Thanks
