NAC 122X - using the subwoofer output to connect "non Naim" poweramp

Posted by: naka on 05 October 2016

Did anyone connected the NAC 122X (with Flatcap 2X) to another "non Naim" power amplifier using the subwoofer output?

The manual says that this output is a duplicate of the main preamp output... I wonder if my Quad 909 makes a good partener, since the NAP 150X lacks a bit of bass power...

Thanks

Why not get a Din to phono cable to connect your 909 to the Flatcap instead of the 150. No need to use the sub output on the 122.

Yes that is probably the best way to do it...

I was trying to test the combination without spending the money on the din-rca cable... I don't have a dealer that can borrow from, and have a few spare rca-rca Atlas Equator interconnects.

But the question remains: can the SW output be used for this purpose? Without damaging anything...

Thanks in advance

Ah i see - i don't see why not. It's a full bandwidth, volume controlled output so there should be no issues using the sub output to test the Quad amp.
