currently, i have engaged the volume control on my DAC and am running the analog output directly into my atm-300r SET power amp. using this method, i certainly cannot complain about the sound. however, i have always intended to add an active pre-amp to the system.
before doing so, i wanted to get input from the AS community on it's experience here ... i have heard comments both pro and con as well as see many here who forgo a pre-amp in their system.
the question in my mind is: generically speaking, do others gain SQ advantages in adding an active pre-amp to their system that outweigh the detriments of putting more cabling, connections, tubes, electronics, etc. into the signal path?
all comments / thoughts / advice welcome ...thanks!!
