Sorry to piggyback here but I have a Yamaha 1060 AVR that I'm using as a preamp with HT ability and a Parasound A23 Halo for my mains. I also have a Bluesound Node 2. Doesn't connecting the Node via coaxial and controlling the volume via it act as a separate preamp? How does going 'pure direct' play into this? I want to make sure I'm connecting everything the best way.
