Preamp? Overkill.
Just insert one of these.to the sub feed.
Then you have RC at the listening position.
I do.
All else is blather including 2 remotes, har har funny.
I've got TV, cable box, BluRay, AVR, HiFi pre amp, DAC, SHD Studio selector, subwoofer level and headphone amp on ONE $8 programmable remote. Plus a Windows PC remote I don't use anymore is on it.
