Connecting CDP with volume control to mono blocks

I was considering buying mono block amplifiers and was wondering if there are any problems connecting my Opus 21 directly without preamp.
Do I need a preamp for this configuration?

I ran my Resolution Audio Opus 21 directly into a variety of amps, including a pair of mono-blocks. BTW, The RA Opus 21 is a great CD player! Enjoy, TIC

Just one man's opinion who has experimented with this before (different gear, same idea).
