I am rebuilding my system into a computer-based system. I'm looking to get a Music Hall DAC. Can I run that directly to an amplifier or will I need a preamp as well?
If you use JRiver, you can use the volume control in the server running on your PC. The less attenuation you need the better this works. Give it a try. Less sensitive speakers requiring less attenuation at the source would be a plus.
