Connecting a DAC directly to an amp?

Do I need to insert a stereo preamp between a volume controlled dac (chord tt2) and an amp? Impact to sq?

Since I don’t use the ht bypass at all I’m ok with ht bypass function on the front panel only. Otherwise it’s cool to have remote and trigger functions on LS-100... lot of high end preamps don’t have those functions at all.
