Audioquest Dragonfly line level output?

[mistersprinkles]

I have a Schiit Magni headphone amp and I need a DAC and I was wondering about using a dragonfly exclusively as a non amplified DAC (without using the headphone amp in the dragonfly). Is it possible to get straight line level output out of a dragonfly and if so how would one do this? I have not purchased the dragonfly yet just the magni.

Thanks.

Yup

You can also use DragonFly as a traditional fixed-output source component (such as a CD player, DVD player, or Blu-ray player), connected to a standard input on a receiver or preamplifier. When used in this manner, DragonFly functions in fixed output mode, which allows the overall volume level to be adjusted with the audio/video system’s master volume control. For this application, both the music player’s volume control and the computer’s main (operating system) volume level should be set to maximum.
