@tiofelon diyaudio.com/passlabs is a good source for finding out more esoteric details regarding first watt offerings. In the below thread, they state:. "The F5 has a gain of 6times.The clipping voltage of the F5 is ~ 21Vpk, or 14.7Vac." https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/pass-labs/218770-diy-f5-questions.html |
Any advantage having a 3V Dac output? I understand that a 3V output would be an advantage if one is using a passive preamplifier Correct, you don't need any more voltage gain from an active preamp, And you only even need 2v from the source as most power amps only need 1v to1.5v to get full wattage output {clipping), 3v will blow their heads off.
