That's a nice preamp ...

That a nice preamp ... unity gain means it doesn't boost the incoming source signal any ... this allows you to turn the volume control up higher ... the higher up the volume control position the less resistance is used in the circuit to attenuate the incoming source signal ... the more transparent the sound will be

Biggest choke point in most preamps is usually the volume control ...especially at lower volume settings

Plus with the XLR and RCA outs being buffered from each other ... there is no communications between them and the preamp can see the true individual input impedance of the amps optimizing the signal transfer

What's for supper ... ;-)
