Topic: Unbalanced and Balanced Connection

[deo]

Hi Gurus, need your help.  I have a DAC that has both Balanced and Unbalanced analog output.  I want to hook it up into two separate amplifiers.  The DAC unlike some, doesn't have an option to switch to use either one.  I tried reading the manual, but it doesn't say.  Base on your experience, is it ok to connect them both to two separate amps at the same time?

it will work....if the high frequencies gets noticeably attenuated, that means the output impedance of your dac is not low enough....but try it and find out....

Try to email the manufacturer just to make sure. There might be a jumper inside that has to be set correctly.
