Hi there

In order to drive the rest of my equipment properly and as sometimes my input SPDIF signal isnt quite loud enough - i Need to get the voltage output of my legato a bit higher. I have another gain stage, but even when thats maxed out I still cant quite get enough gain to drive my amps to where they need to be SO..

In the instructions it says I can get it from 1.5vrms to 2vrms, by replacing the R1-R4 with 187R resistors.

This should be enough, but I cant seem to find 187Rs with the right power handling of say .25w in small quantities. I can find some 187s but they are not the power handling needed for this application.

Can you suggest where I can find these parts in singles? I just need 10 of them...

Thanks!

Mouser or digikey should carry those.

1/4W should work fine, but 1/2W would be better.

While not exactly 187R this part would work great:

Great, thanks heaps for that, will go for the one I can buy in singles :-)

Cheers for your help!

Hello Angel

I've just got the Legato up and running, but I also need to increase output voltage because for comparison with my cd player the 1,5 volt is a bit too low!

I need about 1,8 volt output.

If 150 ohm gives an output of 1,5 volt, and 187 ohm gives an output of 2 volt - Would I then have to replace R1-R4 with 170 ohm 0,5 watt for 1,8 volt output ?

And is it necessary to replace other than these four resistors for reach 1,8 volt output?

I look forward for your reply Angel

Best regards

Hello again Angel

Forget my question for now..

I'll go with the 187 ohm resistors - They should arrive at my house this day..

I hope by replace R1-R4 with 187ohm resistors, will increase the output.

Henrik
