Are Preamplifier’s Relevant Today or just a Hinderance with Digital Playback ?

I’m just curious,.I know from past experiences using a well designed preamplifier can and will make a difference however the computer audio crowd say different with the use of HQplayer with volume control including multiple filters and adjustments in OS mode using a preamplifier is blasphemy to some of them .

What’s your take on this subject? 
Thanks in advance.

Yes, a good preamp is a necessity for a good audio system. 
  Each one has a somewhat sonic sound of its own.

  Only digital I do is iPod connected to preamp via the mini jack to preamps rca.  At low volume and background tunes.

critical,listening is LP & CD. 
I learned my lesson. I now do lossless?. I think for all my iPod playback,  CDs still sound better.
