Title: Can The Crack Be Used As A Preamp?
Post by: tvr2500m on March 18, 2019, 09:41:14 AM

Can I use the Crack to drive a separate amplifier? A number of headphone amp/DACs allow this. A 6.35mm to RCA plug output into a amplifier? The Crack with its 120'ish ohm output impedance, a fairly healthy voltage swing and gain. It would be driving into an amplifier presenting 10's of K ohms of input impedance, rather than the much lower impedance of a headphone.

Yay? Nay?

Thanks!

Yes, this will work.
