i am curious whether the RME ADI-2 (which is a very good sounding unit with many many features such as DSP, filters, tone controls and volume controls) will reduce resolution if used as a linestage controlling volumes into a power amp....
DAC volume controls
I'd like to get other's opinions on their experience about using a dac's volume control straight into a power amp instead of going analog into an integrated/pre.
Currently I have an Aurender A10 and a BAT 3000SE. The A10 seems to benefit from the BAT's preamp (though I have never had it with just a power amp - the BAT has no pre-in).
As part of a potential long-term upgrade I am thinking of stepping up to a dCS Bartok which is supposed to have a very nice volume control.
Thanks.
