You can put that up to 4V in the configurator.
True, I had forgotten about that....

Loudspeakers and amplifier outputs are very low impedance components. It takes very large capacitors & inductors to do much filtering. Just look at the size of the capacitors & inductors in a passive cross-over.
I haven't been able to find the output impedance of the pre out, unfortunately.
I do plan on "reviewing" and measuring some RCA cables.....
WIth headphone cables I have found that when the impedance of the headphone is high, e.g. 300 ohm, it is actually quite easy to inject noise into the cabling! The typical low impedance of speakers eliminates this but with high impedance headphones, it can be an issue, certainly for measurements.
Are you able to contact Devialet to see if they can tell you, or to measure it? I see someone asked the same question on Devialet forum and it went unanswered. IMHO this would probably be the most decisive factor as to whether what you're doing is the best approach.

That's good to know, I've heard other people say they found it to be better than the other amps they had, was always suspicious, but if the less than 1 ohm is true then it could well be very true.Got an answer from Devialet support:
"The output impedance is less than 1 Ohm on expert and expert pro."

Good. Should make it happier with longer cable runs too

Cat6 cable is 23 gauge wire. If you combine four of the wires for positive and four for negative, each one will have the equivalent gauge of 17. So it will be quite insufficient for much length of speaker wire.Have you thought of measuring Cat 5e or Cat 6? I have loads of it around, but don't know if it would do well as speaker wire, or even interconnects.
What about balanced XLR?It will work OK for short runs as speaker wire. For typical unbalanced interconnects, use something coaxial.
Thanks. I found a calculator because my next question was what about eight, but I guess I would have to use twelve wires together. Running three to each speaker, or taking them out of the sheeths and bundling them together, probably not the best of ideas.Cat6 cable is 23 gauge wire.

To what end??What about balanced XLR?
