I have a DAC (Lavry DA10) that when plugged into my upgraded S.E.X. amp drives my full-range speakers to much higher volume than I would ever imagine listening to them.
As I spent another hour last night trying to figure out what bone-headed mistake I made assembling my nonfunctional Quickie, I was wondering: Would a preamp do anything for me here?
In other words, what are the benefits of a preamp other than:
* Switching inputs (would be very handy -- but could do this with a good switching box that has no darn heater circuit)
* Increasing current for components that need it (I have none that do)
* Adjusting volume (no need with the S.E.X.)
What are the sonic benefits to a preamp?
