Tube Amp for Coda 8 Part 2


Thank you to all for your suggestions in my recent thread. 

I’d like to t take this query one step further. I have a DAC that has pre-amp capabilities. It’s to my understanding that having a pre-amp (analogue) will sound better than digital attenuation. The DAC as a pre-amp sounds pretty darn good, so I am wondering, do I need such an elaborate pre-amp (as a volume control)          or should I just stick with the DAC and save some coin?

Thanks!

@sls883 yes, and it sounds pretty good, but most say that using a pre-amp as a volume control should sound better. I want to try, but I don't want to break the bank to do so. Thanks,

@fthompson251 - eloquently said and thank you for that!                                  After a TON of research, I may just stick with my digital attenuated DAC for my pre-amp.
