is the output level of the {{{1}}} different from other Linn DS/DSM's?

The Line RCA output on the {{{1}}} is the same has the same output gain as other Linn DS/DSM products.

However, the Power amplifier is approx. 8dB, (8 volume step), quieter than the Chakra amplifiers and earlier Majik DSM's;

Can I add a subwoofer directly to the Power amplifier outputs on the {{{1}}}?

No,The {{{1}}} power amplifier is a Class-D amplifier and the negative terminal on the power amplifier is NOT connected to earth.

Note The Majik DSM/5 already has Line level Sub outputs to allow a direct line-level analogue feeds for Sub-Woofers

On most subwoofer "High Level" inputs this is connected to earth, and connecting their ground to {{{1}}} negative power amplifier connection may cause damage to both products. Check with the subwoofer manufacturer on how to connect their subwoofers to Class-D amplifiers.

Can I connect Electrostatic loudspeakers, such as Martin Logan, to the {{{1}}}?

As the {{{1}}} uses Class-D power amplifiers then the {{{1}}} power amplifier is dependent on the inductive/capacitive load then the usual loading of Electrostatic loudspeakers may cause poor sounding instability.

Check with your speaker manufacturer for any solutions.
