Dumb question......why do you need a preamp?
You'd think after 50 years I would know this, but I don't. Aren't today's integrated enough?
Active preamps have always provided the soul for my systems, performers becomeĀ real live flesh and blood, totally indispensable for me.
For dacs, unless R2R has analog output no volume control, chip dacs or those with digital volume control bit stripping is the issue.
