Preamp for R2R DACs


This is exclusively for my office setup. Currently I have a dedicated HP laptop with high spec as my core for Roon playing out of OPPO 105 USB dac running KRK rockit powered speakers. Been interested in R2R dac like schiit Gungnir or yaggy - the only problem is these DACs do not have a preamp like OPPO does. What options do I have to run my music volume control for such a setup. Keeping in mind this is for my office and I don’t want a big preamp/amp unit since I have powered speakers.

On the cheap, Schiit sys is a passive  pre. 2 inputs 50.00. 15 day trial.  Luminous audio has stepped alternator for 195.00.

Schiit Vali2. Tubed headphone amp/ pre amp.
