DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER
Update: In my case the pre-amplifier made a noticeable improvement in sound quality- more than I thought it would. The Lumin volume control was fine, but adding a preamp confirmed my suspicion that I was missing out on something. This made the di...

Just an update. MP-3 makes a large improvement in the sound quality. Money has been well-spent.

@lak Im waiting for an Atma-Sphere MP-3 preamp. 😁  
DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER
I’m glad I came this one in my Agon weekly recap email. I started a thread recently with pretty much the same situation/question. I’m also have a Lumin direct XLR into class D monoblocks. My Lumin S1 (superseded by the X1) also has the LeedH volum...

Thanks again to all for the great information here. I called Atma-Sphere and spoke with Ralph. If you haven’t dealt with them yet, please do yourself a favor and check them out. These guys are the real-deal. Passionate people who love what they do...

I used Googles Ai (Bard) to ask as well:  The best preamplifier for Atma-Sphere Class D mono blocks is a matter of opinion and will depend on your personal preferences and budget. However, some popular and well-regarded options include: Wyred4... 
Help and opinions needed on pre-amp situation
Tnanks for the responses. Keep em' coming. I have no idea how good or bad the Lumin Leed h voume control is in the grand scheme of things. The Lumin S1 was their top of the line/flagship offering prior to the X-1. In the menu it has a setting for... 
Any High End Tube Preamps with *gasp tone controls?
Interesting ltmandella and much more affordable. It doesn’t mention if it has XLR or rca and they only put in a pic of the front of it.   
Any High End Tube Preamps with *gasp tone controls?
 Thanks newbee! I also see Loki Max. I wonder if it’s worth the extra chunk of $?  
Any High End Tube Preamps with *gasp tone controls?
Does anyone have experience with a good EQ that uses XLR and not only RCA?  
What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today?
If you buy Atma-Spehere class D mono blocks, do yourself a favor: bin the stock power cables and purchase 2 Shunyata Venom V10 NR power cables. You can thank me later. More/better bass. Speakers disappear easier, improved vocals. “Cool Blue Reason... 
What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today?
I had a Peachtree Nova 300 in the past. Most recently went from my 805a powered tube amp to a set of the class d Atma-Sphere's and life is wonderful. If anyone wants to send me some of their class d's to evaluate/compare to the Atma-Sphere's I'll ... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
Is there an official answer whether or not it’s ok to leave the atma-sphere class d amps on 24/7?  
Competitive class D amp suggestions
Thank you soix, niodari, and atmasphere for responding. After talking to Ralph the other day, I bought a set of them. They should be here next week along with some Mogami Gold Studio XLR cables. I can’t wait!  
Competitive class D amp suggestions
For the Atma-sphere class D amp: Is a preamplifier necessary if only connecting a streamer/DAC to it? The streamer/DAC has it’s own volume control (if I want to enable it). Lumin S1. Someone I came across (Ocean) mentioned this class D amp is def...
