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?

If you have a DAC like Audio Analogue's that has an analog volume control, you don't need a preamp. 

I have a vinyl rig and send the signal from my phono preamp to my DAC and out to my amps. No preamp.

Preamps are merely expensive volume controls.
