"yes" it only at 100% volume you got a bitperfect output .
But SBT's volume control is operating at 24 bits . As an SBT always outputs 24bit (even with a 16bit signal aka CD ) You can get analogue attenuators to put on the poweramps input , if you use the SBT at reasonably high volume settings the loss of SQ in not using the DAC at max volume may very well offset the loss of connecting a preamp . Ie the digital volume controll could be better than the analougue one . There are many users who skipped the preamp , but good gain staging is important so that you dont max out at 2% volume :) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
