I did try running from the Mac Mini to the Bifrost DAC directly to the Amp. The sound quality just was not there compared to having the ARC Preamp in place. So I guess there is a general reason why you have a preamp. Your question seemed like a logical thing to do. I tried it. But it didn't work out well. Wish it had.
