Uh, that would be as high as you want. To around 9VRMS before clipping. Way overkill if you ask me.

on a different note...you will only have the voltage out that you put in...so say I go with the Hippo HiFi USB DAC...which only has something like .5v output...means I'll only have .5v out to of the Behringer to the amps, correct?
If your amp can accept a 0.5V input with acceptably low noise, then there is no problem. You can increase output gain of the Behringer somewhat, but at the expense of noise. I'd build (or buy) a high end preamp before the Behringer is there was a significant problem.
It's only 0.5VRMS Max? That is lower than line-level.
