Active or passive preamp

Hey guys,

I need some advise as to whether I should go active or passive on a preamp. Although I have several digital sources, I'm running all of them through an Emotiva XDA-1. It's nominal voltage output is 1v with a max of 7v. Its output impedance is 1K ohms.

My amp is an Aragon 2004, with an input sensitivity of 150mv for 1 watt. Its input impedance is 22K ohms.

Although I've been doing as much reading up as I can, I'm still not sure that these components will be a good match with a passive preamp.

What do you guys think?

Thanks.

S&B removed their website that showed this.

For a while the URL I bookmarked still displayed that page even though S&B removed it from view on the public site. However, now the URL is dead too. That was a very informative chart. Don't know why S&B felt the need to remove that page.
