Maximum Input Voltage

[junkers]

What DAC do you have that puts out that kind of offset?  You may see a specification that is "Output voltage - 2V", which is the AC signal coming out of the DAC.

There's enough directly coupled solid state gear floating around that this is generally considered a very poor, irresponsible choice that will lead to speaker/headphone damage.

The DAC is sorta DIY, hence the poor output voltage. Just wanted to see what sorts of designs would work. Thanks for looking out though!

Ah, well, you should certainly consider a pair of coupling capacitors at the output of your DAC.
