Mytek Manhattan II as preamp

Is anyone using their Manhattan II Dac as a preamp and is it better than a really good preamp with great Dac? I currently have an Ayre K5xeMP preamp to my Mark Levinson amp but have a Mytek Manhattan II on the way and curious if straight Dac to amp will sound as good or better than Dac to pre to amp. Is the Manhattan II analog volume control that good?

Charlie H and I were friends on FB ( RIP ) and debated this general ? Extensively, you will soon be in a great place to answer the question for yourself. We both settled on pre sounding better, theory be #%?€£¥ !!!!

let us know how it fares but please be exact about level matching
