Digital volume controls do not lose resolution if properly implemented. If your D/A is processing data at 24 or 32bit resolution, then you will not lose resolution at any reasonable volume setting. Wadia products are designed to work perfectly well without preamps. On the other hand, some people just like how a dedicated preamp sounds in their systems regardless of colorations introduced.
Pre amp Vs CD/DVD player with output control
I am considering a digital source (wadia) with built in output capability that can bypass the need for a pre amp.I would like to hear some views on the good or bad of implementing this setup vs using a preamp.
