The volume pot can be wired to control the headphone amp volume as well as variable output via the rca's to a separate amp. Also he may not use the V-Caps and will explore the possibility of using PIO (paper in oil) Caps. All of this for a price to be determined but around $2k to $2.5K.
Hope I have it right.  |
Hi Miguel,
This is correct. The volume control also comes with a remote (same as in the Isabella preamp). And the RCA outputs can be configured to be fixed output (so you can use it just like the Isabellina dac and feed a home audio preamp or another headphone amp), or we can make the RCA output volume controlled (so you can feed a home audio power amp directly).
The price range you mentioned is also correct.
Hi Jallis,
Welcome to Headfi! Thanks so much to you and everyone for all your interest in the Isabellina HPA.
I know the waiting part is not so fun, but these things take some time and I want to make sure I get everything just right before releasing these.
I'll be sure to keep you all posted.
Thanks again,
Vinnie
