I'm no expert, but from my DIY tube amp experience I can say that impedance mismatches from source to amp can alter the frequency response. This may not be an issue with certain combinations of gear, or mismatch may produce tonal changes pleasing to the listener, or it may interfere with the desired result. I'm not advocating measuring anything, I'd just listen to different combinations of source, preamp and amp and see what works for you. For me, I like a tube preamp with my various tube and solid state amps. Wish you luck!
