For decades I've read this or that front end finally negates the need for a preamp. I've tried many passive preamps, DACs with digital and analog variable outputs and CD players with adjustable outputs. In the end none sounded as properly fleshed out as a quality preamp or integrated amplifier. Others will disagree.
Personally I would go with an AX-5 Twenty rather than a direct drive a VX-5 from any source. The AX-5 will drive most any speaker. From what I understand the Twenty upgrades provide even more power and I've seen first hand that they do run cooler. Also either amp would welcome a speaker cable upgrade.
