Uses for "tape-out" on a preamp

Do any of you find that you use the "tape-out" of a preamp or integrated amp? OR can you you THINK of any use for it?

As far as I can tell, this is only useful for analog recording to tape; not for digital recording (am I wrong?). And if I want to attach a second amp I really need a preamp-out which would reflect the setting of the volume control, which tape-out does not.

Would appreciate your thoughts on this.
Thank you.

I use it to feed an Audio Control balanced line transceiver to send a signal to my home theater system in another room in my home.

I have also used the tape outs in the past to insert an EQ box into my system, which can then be switched in or out of the signal chain by selecting the tape monitor.
