Perhaps I lack the ability to discriminate but I have listened to several CDP to Amp configurations that were amazingly dynamic. One system that absolutely floored me was a Wadia 850/Pass Labs 150/DAL SC4a setup. As I plan to obtain an analog rig I have a preamp. This has allowed me to run a long interconnect from pre to amps, thus removing the rack from between the speakers. Amazing how this increases the depth of the soundstage.
Also subs like REL recommend connecting to the amp instead of the pre. So this combination would work fine in a CDP/Amp configuration.
