Hi fellows,

found in the MA 900 the almost perfect amp for me, but is has no support for pre or sub out.

I love the brushed alu style, bass/mid/treble management and loudness. But maybe I will run a miniDSP in near future, which I can't with this amp, nor can I run a sub. So, what are the alternatives.? This amp with pre and sub out and below 1k Euro would make me very happy. But it seems it's not developed yet...
Please note that the REC OUT can be used for connecting a subwoofer. Sounds great

The local dealer assured me its fine foe connecting a sub, and it works great. The sub has a volume controll
Every sub has a volume control to match the level to the one of the mains. But it's a onetime setup. You always need a pre out or sub out to change the listening volume accordingly.

I'm not seeing pre-out or sub-out here.

Why no ground (earth) terminal on that power receptacle?

I asked MAGNAT about connecting a SUB to the REC OUT, and this is their reply:

It is possible to connect the Subwoofer the way you described but it will always need to be adjusted at its own volume control. If the subwoofer offers high-level input you may connect them to the MA 900's regular speaker output with another set of cables. This will solve the problem of volume control.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards,

I use the Magnat MA700. HDMI in, sub out. Gas a great DAC. I run a wiim Pro into that. Makes me smile every day
