RE: Pre-Amp - rookie question

" these sources typically produce 500mV to 2V." That certainly has been the case in the past but I have noticed the voltage output of many, if not most, CD players and DACs has typically creeped upwards. I just did a random check on a handful of current players and DACs. The lowest output voltage I found was 2.5v and the highest was 5v. This isn't, of course, a comprehensive piece of research. However as someone using power amps with a 0.5v input sensitivity I have been noting this upward trend for some time. I am also surprised to find that some of the largest Japanese manufacturers no longer quote output voltage in their specifications.
