Can I connect DAC directly to amp?


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?

You will need a DAC with a volume control, otherwise you will get a full signal gain from the DAC output. That may or may not be very soft or very loud or just Okay. Probably not recommended unless you can control the volume with some type of an attenuator.
