Any info appreciated.
I am considering upgrading the pots on the B1 and wanted to get the best match for the DAC.
Thanks!

It shouldn't be a problem. The output impedence should be less than the 420 ohms of the I/V resistor. I have driven my Icepower 500ASP (which has a relatively low input impedence of 8k ohms) using a 10k ohm stepped attenuator without problems.
