Thanks, Joe (Snopro). But the SIT-3 wouldn't work for me, as the DEQX HDP-5 I use as my preamp provides essentially zero gain from its analog inputs to its analog outputs. (And in fact the default positions of some internal jumpers result in negative gain). Basically, it can be thought of as driving an amp directly from the output of a volume-controlled DAC circuit, with no intervening preamp.
And in any event, as I indicated I'm very satisfied with the XA25.
