Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

"I would have expected it the other way around." Well... not, really

The ratio could be anything, depending upon the implementation and the designer's goal. That is true of both ends - the DAC and the preamp.

Also, for instance, by THX spec, the gain of the power amp when using balanced inputs must be lower by 6dB.

There is simply no general, universal rule.

And... as I like to say - always ask the manufacturer first. :) Unless you really enjoy the stream of guesswork you tend to get on forums. :)
