Mytek Brooklyn DAC: Anyone use as line stage preamp?

I am considering this DAC primarily to use as a line stage preamp first and DAC second. I am curious if anyone is using this DAC as a line stage preamp and if so what are your impressions? I am currently using a Rogue Cronus Magnum for line stage and amp and a Pass Labs XP-15 for phono stage (which I will continue to use.)

I use that mainly because it has one of the greatest volume controls I've ever used.

@czarivey thanks, what were you using previously for line stage and what are your impressions of the Brooklyn vs. your previous?

I use the 192 prior version.  I before used Classe c-45 and McCormack Micro Line Drive preamps.
If you like minimalistic, passive-like volume control, this preamp is champion.
