direct or not?

hello. i have a dCS Puccini which i currently run into an integrated amp, Jadis DA88s. i believe this is a very good combination but also know the puccini has digital volume control and can output direct to a power amplifier.

The question is do you believe one would get better sound in the current combination, Puccini-to-Integrated Jadis, or running the Puccini direct to a power amp like the Jadis JA-80s.

Thanks for your thoughts!
