I have tried it many times, I've always gone back to my trusted preamp... But, I'm doing it again shortly. Just built a DIY ES9018 USB Dac that is bit perfect through windows volume control... So, one more try for me.

Any thoughts on removing a preamp from your system
Hello guys
This is my first post and I have been on Audiogon for a number of years now.
My question to the group is, have any of you removed your preamp completely from your system? Run your front ends straight to your amp? And, what benefits have you noticed, if any.
And finally, if you have used a passive preamp in your system, what are your thoughts on the setup?
I understand one would need to have some sort of "pot" in the signal path to regulate volume.
