source impedance makes a difference as well. For years, I preferred a passive arrangement when using a GamuT CD-1 which has an unusually low (75 ohms) output impedance. It worked better than my older ARC preamp.

Today, however, I find that an active works better with my current DAC which has a higher output impedance.
