Post Subject: Pacific Microsonics Model 2Posted by manisandher on: 5/28/2009

Hi,

I've just taken receipt of a Model 2 to use as a DAC in my study (using the ADC occasionally for recording live from a mic). I would like to feed the balanced XLR outputs of the Model 2 into the single-ended RCA inputs of my Berning Siegfried amp, but understand that I first need to take into account differences not only in the wiring, but also in signal levels and impedances.

The Berning has an in-built passive volume control, so I wouldn't necessarily need a preamp. Does anyone have any experience with something like the Henry Matchbox? Do any other solutions spring to mind? I do have a Pass Labs X1 preamp to hand that I think would work, but I'm not convinced that it is totally transparent.

Any ideas/advice most appreciated...

Mani.
