I believe it's the opposite, it can either be DAC/amp combo, or as DAC only.Can the iFI Micro Signature Finale only be used as an AMP?
I don't think it has RCA in to allow it as amp only.

Yea looking at the connectors, that makes sense. I wanted it to pair it with a Astell&Kern ACRO CA1000, using the CA1000 as a DAC.I believe it's the opposite, it can either be DAC/amp combo, or as DAC only.

Doesn’t need to be transportable. This is going to be for my desk.Wait is the amp not good on the Astell&Kern ACRO CA1000?
Or you just want something better? Do you need the amp to be transportable also?
Ah in this case you have the freedom to literally buy any desktop headphone amp you want.Doesn’t need to be transportable. This is going to be for my desk.
CA1000 is ok, not that strong for the HE1000 Stealth.
Yes at least on Signature Finale that I own. When used with the RCA out as a DAC the volume knob as well as the xbass and 3D switches don’t do anything.Volume knob functionality: disabled when the rca output is connected to an anplifier (Ifi Signature only as a dac) but at the same time enabled to amplify a headphone,
is it correct?
I believe this is the functionality of "most" of our units of this kind. My OG Diablo and Diablo 2 perform the same way.Yes at least on Signature Finale that I own. When used with the RCA out as a DAC the volume knob as well as the xbass and 3D switches don’t do anything.

And it is perfect that way, I was really happy those RCA OUT were a real line out when I started playing with the iDSD. This way we really get the DAC flavour and there is very minimal "analog" modification to the signal going to the amp, it's all up to the amp to do it's own magic, good one or bad! hahahaI believe this is the functionality of "most" of our units of this kind.

Cheers!!
