Voltage Out from Buffalo III SE

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hello,

I'm thinking of adding a Buffalo III SE board to my tube preamp so that I can also use it as a tube output DAC. If I use the voltage out from the DAC directly, what would be the nominal voltage out of the DAC board with a typical CD player digital input? Would it be more, less or the same as standard CD max output (2V)?

Any help is greatly appreciated - this will help me determine how best to integrate the DAC and have approximately the same volume levels as the other preamp inputs.
 
OK, so that's about 1.14Vrms, which is close to the "about 1V" I found elsewhere. That's actually perfect for my application.

Thanks!

Too bad about the DC offset, I'd rather go capless to the grid. Oh well, can't have everything...
