Do preamps have a material affect on high level sources?


It would seem that a preamp is merely attenuating a DAC output. How can it alter the signal?
If it doesn't degrade the signal, would logic dictate that at best it has no affect.

George,
Your response is most consistent with the intent of my question. Thanks. But why then, isn't it common to drive a power amp with the variable analog output of a good DAC?
