Hello all! Lurking hare for a while, bear with me:
I´m interested in getting an Alientek D8. I wish it had a similar feature as the SMSL AD18 that has a subwoofer line level output in the coax connector, but the D8 seems not providing this. I´m limited by budget as the AD18 would be my pick. (With lemons we make ...)
If by chance any of you master modders/engineers/wizards here has derived a line level output from the D8, as well other options to get a subwoofer output to feed an external mono amp, I´d love your advice.
Cheers! 🙂

Just use the headphone output. You can’t drive headphones with a line-level output, but you most certainly can use a headphone output as a line-level output. I do it all the time to provide a volume controlled output to my sub amps.
Thanks for the insight! I´ve considered tapping the OUTL & OUTR pins on the PCM5122, and derive the outputs from there as in the application note for the chip. I wonder why this is not a feature on the D8, as it would take 2 resistors, 2 capacitors and 2 RCA female plugs.
Your solution is not intrusive at all and certainly will work!
Thank you!
