+yogiboy, the SYS is all you need.

I originally purchased the SYS as I thought I needed it between the preamp and amp to be able to turn up the preamp volume control a higher amount.  I then realized that my system was OK without it, i.e. that the volume control on my preamp could be turned up high enough without it.

I then happened to purchase a pair of monoblocks, and am using the tiny SYS as an enjoyable passive mini preamp, for two different sources. So for $49 + about $5 shipping you have a multiuse little gizmo.
