Thats okay Wes, thank you for the detailed reply! Looks like I shouldn't have any problems then. I saw a review in Home Theater HiFi in which the reviewer used Primaluna tube amplification with the D100. Seems like he was really pleased with the results, I'd love to try a tube preamp some day to pair with your DAC.

Hi Wesley, I have some questions regarding the specifications of the D100. I am still quite a newbie to the high end world and a bit confused about impedance/sensitivity issues, so bare with me here. From what I've gathered from your reviews is that the D100 is a bit low in gain due to the passive output stage. I see from a forum thread over at your website that the D100 has an output impedance of 290 ohms. So... What is your recommended input sensitivity that a preamp or integrated have in connecting with your D100? I see many different input sensitivities, such as 20kohms, 26kohms, etc. in solid state preamps. I've read that impedance matching is critical to achieving quality sound and balance between all components, and I'm a bit unsure as to what numbers are generally better. Thanks in advance for any clarification Wesley!
