It would be great if you could use the silver wires and the dact volume currently in use with the Amphora.

Hi Miguel,
The output of the Isabellina dac is going to be fed to a remote volume control, and then to the Isabella headphone module (which is what is used in the Amphora). The output of the dac must first pass through the volume control, otherwise you will have no control of the volume level feeding your headphones
I am also going to feed the output of the volume control to a set of RCA jacks on the back panel. This way, you can also connect your Isabellina HPA to another amplifier (e.g. a home audio power amp). If one prefers to connect the output of the dac board directly to the RCA outputs (with no volume control in the signal path), we can do that as well. The customer can choose which they prefer for the RCA outputs (direct from dac, or remote volume-controlled).
Hi GreenLeo,
Good question, and I'm not sure yet. I would need to compare the noise floor of each. The thing is that I'm not a fan of IEM headphones, so I don't have any to do testing with.
Anyone know of a pair of very high sensitivity IEMs that are not too expensive?
Thanks,
Vinnie
