One thing that people don't always realize is how important it is for the preamp to control the interconnect cable between the preamp and amp. Passives cannot do that, but a good preamp can, if there is intention to do so in its design!
Best Preamp = No Preamp?
I'm currently looking for some DACs. I'm looking at Benchmark DAC1, Bel Canto DAC3, Slim Devices Transporter, etc...
I noticed most of these newest high performance DACs have built in volume control with remote.
I'm thinking that I can connect these DACs directly to my Power Amp skipping preamp.
Is that right thinking? Why go through additional peice of device when I can avoid? Anybody doing it that way?
What'll be the pros and cons?
