Good evening, folks.

I have a line on a Schiit Gjallarhorn amp that I'm considering using in a desktop setup with a pair of DA Wave MT speakers (4-ohm, 86db sensitivity, currently being driven by a SEX). I've worked through the numbers, and I think that the Moreplay should theoretically  play well with the Gjallarhorn in this setup. The Gjallarhorn is a Class AB amp with an SE input impedance of 20K ohms according to Schiit. I'm prepared to roll the dice and give this combination a shot, but am hoping for a gut-check from this group before I pull the trigger. Please let me know if anyone sees a compatibility issue that I might be missing. (If so, I might just finally build a Class A Pass amp for my desktop setup!)

Thanks much!

It's a little bit on the low side in terms of input impedance, but not too far off.
