I have the Atohm GTSE1 speakers and I'd like to try the matching v38s sub rather than SAM to get a bit more low end since moving to a flat with a larger high ceiling lounge (the bottom end has got lost and SAM seems to make no difference). I don't want to change the Atohms, as they are otherwise great and I don't want big floor standers in the room (or shell out ££).
Config is
Phono- Rega P3
Line 1 - CD Rega Planet
Digital - Headphone amp line out
Ethernet - Air3 Mac Mini
Is there a way to run the sub out and headphones????
Thanks

Run sub as "Pre-amplified output mono" and buy a decent headphone DAC (Chord Hugo?), then connect it to "Digital Output (SPDIF). Despite of added cost for DAC/headphone amp I think you will benefit from headphone's sound quality improvement.
I may just use my OPPO Headphone DAC connected to the Mac Mini directly when I want to use headphones.

Why don't you use the hi level input on the sub? I have been using REL subs for ten years with different speakers and I always get a better integration between sub and speaker through the high level inputs.

Sorry, no idea what this means. New to subs.....

I came here to suggest the same thing; REL prefers you to use the speaker output of your amplifier in parallel with your speakers. REL being a very respectable SUB company, they seem to know their stuff. You're most likely going to get a better sub from REL too.
Another tip I've read about a number of times now so there must be some truth in it; Divide the money you want to spend in half and but two subs. Apparently it gives a much better sound scape picture because a lot of the sound scape is in the lows.
Good luck!
