matching DAC and AMP

[davirix]

Hi,

I'm a bit lost in DAC-AMP matching, could you kindly assist? I've found some similar treads but not a generic formula or methodology that I can apply in my case.

In my case it's about the SMSL VMV C200 DAC (output level TRS 4.0 Vrms, RCA 2.0 Vrms; output impedance 100 Ohm) and an Hypex nc122mp, can the former be used as a preamp for the Hypex?

Thank you in advance,

D

Long answer is here:

Short answer is yes, your DAC will drive this amp to full power with no problem.
