if you have an integrated amp, you don’t “need“ a preamp, but most people would likely say that separates of comparable make or quality to the integrated app will be better.
Some say omitting the preamp and running the dac directly to your power amp is superior and a lot of others who say just the opposite. I’ve tried both in my system and definitely prefer the preamp, I think it adds a density and richness to the sound that is missing otherwise. There are, however, plenty of knowledgeable people who disagree. Like so many matters in this hobby, it’s a matter of personal preference, not a hard and fast rule
