+1! If there is one thing I've learned in more than 50 years of audiophilia, it's that although specs, reviews, and recommendations are useful starting points, one's system, room, musical tastes, and sound preferences ultimately are what determines the value of a choice or an upgrade. Personally, I subscribe to the idea that the best preamp is no preamp. Yet, in my main system I prefer the sound presentation with my preamp in the chain (see sig) albeit in passive mode and with the gain set to max over feeding my amp straight from my DSPeaker DAC/EQ. (The volume control in the latter seems more transparent than that in my preamp.) Best luck!
