Hello folks. First post. I think you have a really neat forum here and appreciate it. After reviewing some info here I have recently purchased an amp: SY-DAP2002 - 4ohm (TPA3255). I needed to get this giant NAD356BEE off my computer desk and back in the living room. That's why I bought the above amp and it is a rather strong amp. Kinda strange how strong it is really for the size. After reading, here, about the amp's 1V input design I wanted to test some RCA outputs of my audio singal (from PC) to make sure I'm feeding it what it needs and not inducing clipping. I'm new to voltmeters so, let me put that out there first. But I don't understand why I cannot get a voltage reading from an RCA that is being pushed signal from my computer and am here for help. So, Spotify is playing a song that is going from PC to amp via RCA. While song is audibly playing, I unplug the RCAs and try to measure the output. The voltmeter is on the DC setting and I have tried both the 2V setting and the 200m volt setting and I get nothing. I'm using the probes on the RCA shield and the RCA tip to try and get a reading and I get zilch. I have tried both polarities (red to RCA cable tip; black to tip/black to shield; red to shield). Sorry to come in with problems before introduction.
I have an affection for audio. I have had a LOT of amps/receivers. Went through a vintage phase. Actually kinda miss my Sansui G701. Had a lot of different setups. Have messed around with acoustic treatments. Really just enjoy my music. The current speakers being driven on my computer desk are Ascend Sierra 2s.
