Line out has a fixed voltage.
Exactly like the line out of a source (CD player or DAC).
It can be useful if after the Vali you want to connect a normal integrated amplifier or a different pre.
I think that with some skill it may be possible to change it.
But maybe the easiest way is to split the source before the Vali input RCA.
So, (again, stupid question on my part,) does the preamp component of the Vali 2 to feed something like powered monitors provide any of the sonic characteristics of the tube itself to said monitors/speakers, or is it simply a passthrough for feeding your dac source to your monitors/speakers?
