Schiit SYS.
Should I need a pre amp for one source?
I certainly don’t need one but you know usually sources usually sound better with a pre amp.
I just purchased a Cary DMS 600 streamer/player/dac. It replaced an Aurender A10 player and a Linear Tube MZ 2.0s pre-amp with all the upgrades and the Cary sounds much better than the combo just as a stand-alone .
i have always had pre’s in my system with streamers/ Dacs because the digital volume controls usually leave a lot to be desired
The Cary seems to get it right. But you know.... was thinking of maybe a passive volume control? Just don’t want to spend 3K on a pre> upgraded power cord and another set of interconnects.
Please talk me off the edge of the rabbit hole
