These are the NAD C355 "main in" specifications: -input impedance of 20 k ohms -input sensitivity of 954 mv at 20k ohms I'd need (a) a line output impedance of 2 k ohms or less and (b) output sensitivity of 400 - 500mv into 20 k ohms or 200 - 250 mv into 10k ohms or 800mv to 1v into 50 k ohms. |

I have yet to receive a plausible answer to that question from anyone, whether audiophile or high end equipment manufacturer. |
