NuForce IA-7 V2 use with headphone amp question
« on: 16 Feb 2010, 07:58 pm »
Hi,

I have a seperate tube headphone amp. I just wonder if I connect the headphone out to the input of the nuforce will it damage the amplifier or should I avoid doing this at all. (the tube amp outputs 1 watt max).

Thank you in advance

It probably will not sound good anyway.

The headphone output are designed to drive low impedance load (12 to 600 ohm), the input of a preamp (i.e. IA7) are high impedance load (1k to 100k).
