Just to add a different perspective, if I am not mistaken the 600 ohm standard was originated by the telephone industry (good old Ma Bell) back in the day and adopted by the professional audio industry. Seems the phone company knew the benefit of this as it applied to long cable runs as well.
Best Preamp = No Preamp?
I'm currently looking for some DACs. I'm looking at Benchmark DAC1, Bel Canto DAC3, Slim Devices Transporter, etc...
I noticed most of these newest high performance DACs have built in volume control with remote.
I'm thinking that I can connect these DACs directly to my Power Amp skipping preamp.
Is that right thinking? Why go through additional peice of device when I can avoid? Anybody doing it that way?
What'll be the pros and cons?
