You people really are fountains of knowledge. Thanks so much for
sharing all that with me. Would it be a fair assumption that I should
be using a USB audio device that has mixer controls so I can adjust for
these different line volumes?
FTR, the manual for my amp doesn't specify the line out volume-only says
150mV/1.6kOhms
Thanks, Tim :-)
