I have a Perreaux Silhoutte SXH1 amp that has one set of RCA inputs (L/R) and one set of RCA line outs (L/R). If I feed the amp from a musicstreamer DAC via the RCA inputs, will the line-outs on the amp send out an unamplified signal? If that is the case, does the Perreaux amp need to be turned on? The reason I'm asking is that sometimes I may want to use my powered speakers instead of my headphones and I was concerned that connecting my powered speakers to an amp feed would cause problems. If I can use the Perreaux to passively send the signal to my speakers, I won't have to also upgrade my soundcard to something like an M-Audio Audiophile 192 or use 'female to 2 males' RCA adapters on both channels of the outs from the musicstreamer DAC. I'm not sure how much degradation I would get using the adapters (and I might not be able to hear it given my ears and equipment), but my preference is to stay away from adapters.
Thanks!
PS...I know this is probably a pretty dumb question...
