I wonder if someone knows why the DG-58 has an hotter analogue output than the usual level of Accuphase gear.

I've compared it to the DP-75 and DC-81L XLR and RCA output, and while these tho machines are exactly at the same level, the DG-58 is sensibly louder. I understand that the DG-58 is also hotter than more recent Accuphase sources.

Is it because in the "Accuphase vision", the DG-58 in some scenarios can be used to directly drive a power amp? (In the brochure it is indicated a situation in wich the DG-58 is positioned after the preamplifier).
