In Reply to: RE: With your computer setup posted by Mercman on November 17, 2014 at 08:37:51:
With all digital sources outputting more than enough voltage to drive any power amps, an active preamp is an additional gain stage that is superfluous.
I am not suggesting using digital volume controls, I agree they suck. An passive is your best solution with out a doubt in my mind. Don't any of your DACs have high quality analog volume controls?
Even Charles Hansen said that preamplification is unnecessary and was devised as a way for manufacturers to sell an extra box to its customers.
Read Art Dudley's review of their flagship integrated with passive input stage.
