I still do and always will use a pre amp...  I have a great DAC with one of the best digital volume controls out there but it simply can not drive my amps as well as my preamp.   Not even close. 
Black Friday deals on headphone amps
I just picked up a Rupert Neve RNHP and it is awesome.... I am hearing things that I have never heard and spatial cues I never thought possible in a HP rig.   It was honestly the best $500 I have spent on audio in a long time.  It has XLR/TRS , RC...

Should I adjust my NAD M51 DAC volume north of 0 dB with this setup?
I also have a c-j preamp... its a Classic 2 SE and it like most c-js has high gain. I would often leave the volume around 9 oclock on the pre and set the M51 to -20 or -10 so i could employ the remote volume on the DAC and not go past 0dB. Always ... 
Should I adjust my NAD M51 DAC volume north of 0 dB with this setup?
I have a M51, great DAC...   I usually set mine at -1 to -3 dB going into my preamp as a source .  There is supposedly no truncation of data ubtil below -66 dB so experiment . You might find that -10 is a better match .  I personally dont think th... 
Want to try separates, what to expect.
Here's the only problem, the amp you have is very good.  That means being careful about what you choose to pair to replace it, because buying into moderately priced separates may not outperform what you are using now. 
Lexicon GX-7 vs Anthem PVA7
The Lexicon looks like it was built by ATI

Best sounding tube for Audible Illusions M3A preamp?
6h23eb is super rugged....   have had one in my c-j which can be tough on 6922 type.   The new Gold Lion 6922 is durable too , have one in my Classic 2 SE and it's at least 2 years old and still sounds great and zero noise.

Savant home automation systems w/ Conrad Johnson
Unfortunately you need serial or ethernet control with systems like Savant and Crestron for full control but if it can learn commands you should be able to do volume and input.   Call Savant they can tell you exactly what is possible

Are my amp and preamp mismatched?
I always thought you could not go wrong with both from same mtg. until I owned a McCormack RLD 1 along with a DNA 125 amp.   It was a good sounding combo, perhaps better than my previous Mc C15 driving the 125,  but it just didn't blow me away.  I...
