Connecting Schiit Loki to Integrated Amp

Reviving this old thread as it's close to my query.

I have a Schiit Lokius and am considering connecting it to my Audio Innovations S500 amp via the tape loop so that all inputs (phono, cd, DAC) will play through it. However, the RCA out on the Lokius states it is 10v & the (standard?) line inputs on the S500 state 3v. Am I going to have issues?
TIA

That is the maximum output the unit is capable of producing kinda like an amp that's rated for 100 watts. It should be fine.
 
I've used my older Loki in tape loop of my Bryston amps without issues. And between CD/DAC inputs and many other amps. No issues.
Most of my amps don't have tape loops. So I use RCA switchers . A messier setup without including phono input. Unfortunately.

Thanks for your advice. I've successfully wired it all up exactly as I described, and it works perfectly and with good results too. The Audio Innovations is dead silent with my TT through a modded Yaqin MS23B, into the Aux and then tape looped through the Lokius. Next thing will hooking up another Lokius - one for each channel to be able to fine tune for my hearing weaknesses! Perfect.
Thank you.
