The mon outs will keep the volume control out of the way, so it's more convenient. Otherwise, if you use the pre outs you have to manually set the volume each time to avoid overloading the X30.

Help hooking up a new amp
I just bought a Belles Aria integrated amp. I have a question about how to incorporate it into my system. My TT is going into the phonostage on the Belles. I have a Cocktail Audio X30 media streamer that is going to go into on of the inputs on the back of the Belles. Here is my question. In my old set up, I had a phono preamp that would connect to the X30 and then the X30 would run into my AVR amp. In that way, I could do needledrops of my LPs into the X30. How can I achieve using the Belles and eliminating the preamp? Would I run interconnects from the pre outs or mon outs from the Belles into the input on the X30? The music would be going into the Belles from the TT and then out either the pre outs or mon outs into the X30. That should work, right? Thanks in advance.
