sorry,i only have the soloist sl...

but i think the soloist only has *one* set of rca out puts. it's labeled as a pre amp out.
it does have 3 sets of rca inputs.
it has no digital connections of any kind.

so you could maybe connect the dac to an input and the active speakers to the outputs.maybe one of the experts will chime in with a reply soon. :)

Hello, I can answer this one. I own 3XP. Yes, it does improve because the driver benefit from power. Any headphone that does not benefit from power, tend to sound the same with cheaper less powered amp compare to more powerful amp. 3Xp has pre amp!

Yes it is but only depends on what headphone do you use.
I ordered it open box, so it is final sale. Trying to see if I can return for store credit if not I'll have to sell it off on ebay (can't sell on here still)... I was shocked at how much I did not like this amp. It sounded so cold and vivid and unnatural sounding to me compared to my warm Schiit amps and various tube amps. I’m not comfortable enough to meddle with op amp swapping either to keep the unit. I would love to get a Mjolnir 2 instead if I can find a good one for sale.
