Does Tube Output CDP work as Tube Preamp ?

Hi, What I learned is that Tube Preamp would take out the harsh or edge usually associated with SS Integrated amp. I have a Tube Output CDP(Ah 4000),and using it with SS Integrated amp -NAD C370;I often wonder do I really need a Tube Preamp for pairing with it in order to be rid of SS's harsh and edge?? (Does Tube Output CDP work as Tube Preamp ? in terms of sonically ) My other system: Analysis Plus Oval 9 spkr cable; TruthLink IC;Castle Power Conditioner. Your opinion and advises is highly appreciated and thanks in advance

tube output of cd-player is identical to the differential input of tube preamp.
tubes have already embedded low-pass filter and UHF correction thus filter distructive HF amplitudes that may damage speaker pratcticall with no additional and complicated filter.
