Anyone using a Mytek Brooklyn or Manhattan (I or II) DAC as a preamplifier?


Anyone have any experience with the Mytek DAC's preamp direct to a power amplifier? Any good? Great? 

I'm considering going with a Mytek Brooklyn direct to either a McIntosh MC275, Pass Labs XA60.8m or X250.8, or Parasound JC-1. I'd need to stick with this setup for a year until sufficient funds are available for a preamp, so want to make sure it's enjoyable and a marked step-up from my current Rega Brio + Parasound zDac combination.

Thanks!Ken

I don’t understand why more quality DACs don’t allow the option of connection to a preamp or integrated amp.
They may make preamps as well, so not in their best interest to do it, so use a passive.
