Question on Luxman L-AX550ii balanced inputs

Hi all.

I've been googling like crazy all day, and I cannot seem to find an answer to this simple question.

What is the MAX input voltage that the balanced inputs on the L-550AXii can handle? (Ok, maybe not simple.)

I'm looking at a source that puts out 5.8 volts max, and I'm concerned that that might be bad for the amp.

I've written Luxman, but I don't know how soon they'll get back to me, and I'd really like an answer.

Thanks!

I had the same question with a 595SE integrated and I was able to talk to Luxman US and they said 4V. Hope this helps.

I was in a similar situation when I got my Luxman cl-38uc preamp. My CDPs balanced output level is 3.2V, and Luxman’s input is 2.5V. I contacted both Luxman’s and CDPs representatives about the issue, they both told me it’s a bad idea. Then I called my Lux dealer, and, after consulting with his tech, he told me there is nothing to worry about, since Luxman can take up to 7V or 9V (don’t remember now). Probably they had tech papers for the insiders.
