RE: Let the grenade throwing begin...

I've never heard the GFP-750, but I did see some comments on it a few months ago in one of the AA forums. Most of the posters were less keen on it than the reviewers were when it came out....
In general, a passive preamp can give good bang for the buck but won't sound as good as a good active preamp. The sins of a passive tend to sins of omission. The main thing that goes away is dynamics, although I have no idea why this would be so.
As far as DACs with volume controls, obviously it depends on the particular implementation. I can't think of any off the top of my head, so I can't comment.
