DAC/preamp combo together with standalone preamp

I am rather confused by a lot of the new digital gadgets. I have been considering adding a DAC/preamplifier combination to my system. Am looking at various gear. Many of the DACS have a preamp in built and many of the reviews I have read (Debussy, Meridian 818 for example) have them used together with a pre-existing standalone preamplifier. What are the pros and cons of this.
Many thanks
in anticipation

Look at Linn's new DSM range which are basically a wonderful digital streamer, dac and preamp in one case.
They also have very good analog inputs on them and even include a very decent phono stage.

Cutting edge technology coupled with Linn's legendary manufacturing prowess.

The new Audio Research DSi Dac and preamp combo is also superb and should be heard by anyone looking at this type of preamp/dac combo.
