Ah4000 CDP Directly connected to Stratos amp ?

Hi,I have been thinking of upgrading the preamp section of my NADC370 amp.However,due to the wooden stereo cabinet (a "furniture")space-limitation I have the only option of replacing the NADC370 with the Stratos(Odyssey) .Yet,I wonder if the Ah4000 CDP would match well with the Stratos(hook up DIRECTLY without the use of preamp;while using the CDP remote for the volume control). Has anybody ever tried this way of connection for playing CD ? How does it sound? Good enough? or should I just FORGET it ?! Your opinion and suggestion is highly appreciated and thanks a lot

I ran my AH!4000 directly into my amp. (Threshold)
I ended up and bought a Canary Island VPC-1 volume control unit for $245 off of Audiogon.
Some might call it a "passive preamp". But in reality it's an unpowered volume control. Regardless, it works great.
