To answer question 2, a variable output from the RW Isabellina will be needed to feed a power amp only. The volume will be controlled off the RW headphone amp (basically a pre-amp) in this setup. No sound degradation will occur.

Edit: ^^^Vinnie KNOWS!

I have a question: Will using the headphone out mute the RCA outputs?


Please correct me if I am wrong as I don't want to give false info.

This is very interesting thread...I'm so tempted to hop aboard.
I believe the variable output will only go from DAC > potentiometer > RCA out, and not through the headphone amp at all.
