Thanks for the responses.
The main reason I asked this question is because I was wondering about not using preamp at all. That question led to this question.
I actully posted another question on that subject, but no response yet.
I'll kind of repeat what I said on that posting.
I'm looking at some of the newest high performance DACS such as Benchmark DAC1, Bel Canto DAC3, Slim Devices Transporter, etc, and I noticed most of those DACs have built in volume control with remote.
So, I was thinking that I can connect these DACs directly to my Power Amp eliminating preamp entirely.
I was wondering what's the implication on that approach?
What'll be the pros and cons?
Is it better because I'm skipping additional device that I don't need? or A good preamp somehow does some good thing to improve the sound quality?
