[QUOTE="thylantyr, post: 1286254, member: 560358"] Home audio amps usually have fixed gain and compared to pro audio world, the gain will be on the high side. Pro audio amplifier have adjustable gain knobs and you can adjust gain as needed. An amplifier with higher gain will create more audible hiss. Ideally you want to adjust the gain structure of the whole system for best low noise. In my case, my DCX drives both, one home amp, one pro amp. My proamp is set about 1/3 gain, but my home amplifier is higher in gain driving tweeters, therefore the gain structure isn't optimum to keep the hiss low because the DCX is driving a higher voltage into that amp. I do the 'trick' to reduce the signal into the home amp. There is another way to reduce gain using resistors. If I have time, I may be able to make cables. Later, if you have problems. [/QUOTE]
