If the DAC is the sole source of the amp, what do you need to split anything for?

If it's as simple as that, RCA pre out to Subwoofer in. Turn on the LPF of your sub and you're set.I was inquiring the best way to connect a subwoofer to the amp.
I only notice it the moment I turn it off. More like "oh, it was humming a bit" as opposed to noticing it while it's running. Sometimes I even forget to turn it off. Definitely not audible when listening to anything.Some earlier posts mention audible transformer hum with the Rag 2. Is that noticeable for near-field listening (especially with open-back headphones)?

You probably could, if you could find the right adapter.On the Schiit site it says that the Rag 2 sends full power to the balanced headphone output. Would that not be the same or similar if I got an adapter to run my headphones from the speaker terminals on my current amp (Marantz PM6007). Most headphones outputs on stereo amps are not that good. But what about from the speaker terminals via an adapter?

Some have resistors in them that limit the output from the speaker taps.
An ideal solution would be something that had speaker level inputs on one side, XLR and 1/4” outputs on the other, and Schiit’s 128 step stepped attenuator in the middle.
That would be a killer product if anyone at Schiit is watching.
The whole "speaker taps adapter" thing is 100% legit and has been a thing in the HiFiMAN world for over a decade (except for when the HE-6SE became cheap - then all of a sudden Topping A90s were good enough). In fact, I had a setup like that for a while for all my balanced headphones.On the Schiit site it says that the Rag 2 sends full power to the balanced headphone output.

No opinion on the phono but the DAC is not worthy of the amp IMO. Adding extras makes it a tidy package, but, if you want an upgrade or something fails...I'm very interested in this amp. But do I get just the amp or the "fully loaded" option? I don't need a phono preamp and the DAC would only be USB-C. No coax or optical. I do still have a Schiit Modi I can use. Apparently it comes with a remote but the website doesn't show it. What does it look like?
