Hi,
As far as I know, when pre-out output is used, a different mid-fi Dac, WM8740, is used and output power is limited to 4Vrms per channel.
I have heard (the source of the information may be incorrect, if so, please correct me) that analog signal produced by MagicWire DAC can also be used and sent to an external headphone amplifier for optimum performance. By this way, as the main DAC is used instead of WM8740, the quality of sound is expected to be much better.
Did anyone try that? How did you make the configuration using Advanced Configurator(except ore-out)?
