My preamp is down for repair,so I ran my system as follows;power
amp/DAC(without volume control)/MF-V-Link/IMac/Audirvana ,with volume
control The results were very good! First time I have heard my poweramp
without the preamp.I was pleasantly surprised that it sounded as good as it did.I
still prefer the sound with the preamp(bass was a tiny bit better without pre). I
like what the tube pre does with the midrange,and I have multiple sources.If you
run straight in,make sure the volume is not maxed before you send music to
poweramp.
