You're more likely to degrade the signal passing it through any kind of preamp. There's nothing to be gained sonically, only convenience if you want to switch between multiple inputs connected to a poweramp.
Hello ,You're French , that explains a lot
My bad, chief! You're definitely right: I just should use the ignore function more often.@VintageFlanker , if you find someone's post to be of little value the best thing to do is ignore it . There's no need to tear a post down sentence by sentence like you have here , it does nothing but cause bad feeling and create a mess for me. Pick your battles mate
It's ok mate , it's often a waste of time and we just end up getting kicked in the balls for our efforts but we must try to be friendly and let a little bit go.My bad, chief! You're definitely right: I just should use the ignore function more often.
No worries , thank you for your response. I know coming to a site like this can be a jarring experience , it's natural to get a bit defensive.Thank you Thomas, my apologies
Thank you very kindly for your input, @ferongr ! I take it you mean any preamp, even a high fidelity one (I personally prefer the 740P to PASS...)? If that is the case indeed, you saved me quite a bit of dough!You're more likely to degrade the signal passing it through any kind of preamp.

Thanks buddy. You just found the right words to simply explain transparency to the average audiophile.It sounds like a perfect reproduction of the song. Tight, accurate, tonally balanced, ability to hear little details, instruments sound separated etc.
It doesn't sound "warm", "wide", "airy", "bright", or "dark". If I were to use a word to describe how it sounds, I'd say "right" or "correct".
I‘d like to say "Source".But the real question is how does it sound ?
If I remember corrctly I experienced something similar with my ADI-2 DAC connected to the balanced inputs of my THX 789. When the amp was on and the DAC was off (red ring) I could hear a buzz, but as soon as I turned on the DAC it disappeared. Not sure why it happened, but it wasn't an issue since I just kept the amp off whenever the DAC was off.
