Many are using the micro as a preamp now. Simply use the speaker outputs to drive into a larger power amp. You can add RCA jacks to the unit, just wire them to the speaker outputs. I recommend loading the output with a few hundred ohms so that the very large output capacitor is charged so that the output does not have DC on it. The micro has ideal gain as a high-level preamp, and with its 2 ohm output impedance it can drive any combination of cables of any length. Be careful when using the micro with DC coupled amps, or ones that could be damaged by subsonic transients. The micro does not have a mute during warm-up or turn-off.
