dCS Debussy as preamp


How good is the level control in dCS Debussy without preamplifier?
dCS Debussy is very expensive and I do not have money for a good preamp.
I read the opinion that in Paganini and Puccini very poor volume control and listen them without preamplifier is bad. What about dCS Debussy direct to power amps?

Wonderful_electric, USB-input on MSB-technology DACs is not good.

Jfrech, I have heard dCS Scarlatti and its built-in volume control I liked. How the volume control of Scarlatti compared to Debussy?
Besides dCS Scarlatti I tried direct connection of Weiss DAC202. Weiss is also digital adjustment. It's a good DAC, but quality control was low. Distortion-free only up to -10 decibels.
Now I'm afraid to digital volume control of dCS and others...
