Tube Pre-amp Suggestions.

Tons of great suggestions, thanks to all! Let me take this 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 the digital attenuation. If I'm just looking for a volume control, do I need such an elaborate pre-amp or should I even bother and just stick with the DAC?

Maybe I should start a new thread on this...

@kds if you DAC had Preamp capabilities, then yes you can live without a standalone preamp

Fezz Audio Sagita Prestige - fully balanced tube preamp for $3495.

I am very happy with my PSAudio BHK pre. ChatGPT ranks it as my best component and wants me to replace my Moon 330A with your Coda #8, as it thinks the #8 is a perfect match for my system. 
It follows the BHK would match very well with your Coda. 

You guys are awesome, thanks!
