Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: Do we still need pre-amps?

In a nutshell: digital sources in most cases need only an analogue attenuator but not a preamp; if you are into playing vinyl the answer depends on the phono stages electrical characteristics: usually passive attenuators work less well. Switching between sources doesn't need any electronics. Digital attenuation tends still to be a nono in high quality sound reproduction
