The Theta Miles uses an analog volume control, which should preserve your signal information versus a digital control. It could work quite well playing directly into your Aleph 3. I currently have a Mark Levinson 390s CD player with analog volume control playing directly into an Aleph 3, and it sounds great. Since you already have the Bryston preamp, I would urge you to try it both ways and pick your favorite. Let us know!
