Never ever say never. It may be that you’ve not yet heard the right preamp for your system. By right I mean it makes the system sound better to your ears and by better I mean it adds the spice you didn’t know you’re missing.
Is Pre-Amp needed
Is a preamp needed. I run my oppo 205 direct to an MC275-6 for two channel audio and it sounds good, but am wondering how much better a pre-amp would make it sound. A pre-amp seems necessary for multiple sources, but not for just one source. Would it just be an extra link in the chain or would it greatly improve the sound?
