"I agree about the importance of the "warmth" region. In my case, I find no difference in tonal quality between using my ARC preamp vs. DACT attenuators with a GamuT CD-1. Only a loss of transparency and stage width using the preamp.

You are sure about this? I have always heard a loss of dynamics when going passive and any slight gain in transparency is offset by a distinct loss of drive and bleaching of the tone. This has been true with many amps, speakers, sources etc. and many passives.
