The problem driving single-ended cable is a lack of standards. So the sound of cables is all over the map and the sound changes from one system to another.
You can minimize that with a low output impedance which in turn is driving a low input impedance at the amp.
That means either a large coupling cap, which IMO is inelegant, an output transformer or direct-coupling. Now you know why we did a direct-coupled output in our preamps.
David Berning made a single-ended preamp with a direct-coupled output decades ago called the TF10. If you can find one used it might make a nice platform to work with.
Plan B: put the volume controls inside your amp(s) and remote control them. That eliminates a good number of the problems with passive volume controls.
