> Both my main amp and sub amp have a 10K input impedance, so if the Pre90 can drive a 5K load, that will be one consideration off my mind.

I could be wrong, but I believe the two outputs are individually buffered. Therefore, I don't think you would be connecting both amplifiers in parallel. In other words, each output would be driving a 10k-ohm load separately. However, I can't find anything in the specifications that answers this concern. Therefore, I think the only way you will know whether or not your system is compatible will be to try it, and most dealers allow you to return a product if you're not satisfied. I bought my Topping Pre90 from Amazon, which allows returns.

> I'll have to check the specs on both my phono stage and DAC. If they'll work with the Pre90 then I might order one.

The input impedance of the balanced inputs is rather low at 2k-ohms. However, my FiiO R9 sounds just fine connected to the Topping's balanced inputs.

The input impedance of the unbalanced inputs is 9.9k-ohms, which should work just fine with nearly all components.

Good luck!
