DENON DL-S1 & AU-S1

I have a Pass Labs XONO phono amp, do I really need their matching AU-S1 step up transformer to voice it out ? Your input is greatly appreciated.

Good Listening Peter

Btw, That Denon top of the line is very good performer with very good tracking abilities. Regards and enjoy the music, R.
