Pre Amp Output On/Off Switch - tyefighter - 24-Dec-2015
Apparently this year I've managed to avoid Santa's naughty list, so he's decided to reward me with a shinny new headphone amp
So while upgrading to FW 9.0.1 I went ahead and configured the Pre Amp output on each of the D200's. Left channel for the master and Right channel for the companion both set to fixed line which will run into the Auralic Taurus Mk2
My question is: is there any detriment to the Devialet or sound quality if I don't switch the Pre Amp output off while not in use?
As I understand it the ADH is used for the speaker amplification and a different DAC maybe engaged for the line out duties?
If this is the case then I would imagine my best option is to have the line out off and only turn it on when it is required. This creates a problem: I can allocate a button to toggle the line out on and off by sacrificing the balance button or toggle on and off in the menu which wouldn't be a problem but it always defaults to on when the Devialet is turned on, so i would have to do this every time
Is anyone familiar enough with the config file to set it off as default?
sorry about all the question, thanks in advance

Perhaps I can pick off the easiest question!
Yes, it should be possible via the configurator: in General Settings, Startup Mode there's a check box to enable or disable Sub/Preout by default on start-up. I tried this briefly and it seemed to work as expected.

I'll answer the other one. I'm using my outputs to another little set in my garage and I've never noticed any negative effect on SQ so I wouldn't worry about it
RE: Pre Amp Output On/Off Switch - tyefighter - 24-Dec-2015
cheers guys
I've just had a look at that setting in the configurator... nice find !!
knowing me I'll probably end up not bothering to keep switching it on and off as i get lazy LOL
so its nice to know there isnt any detriment to SQ too

Same here. Can't hear any difference in SQ whether it's turned on or off.
