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?

I am very happy with Black Ice Audiio (Jolida) 
FOZ SS-X Sound Stage Expander.

I have never used a preamp, and this piece
is now between a cd player (gain from remote)
and power amp.

You might want to read the threads about it
and a review of the product.  It is sold with a
30 day return.  A win/win.
