I’ve run my Rme-ADI-2 DAC directly into my Rogue poweramp out of curiosity, and it was surprisingly loud and decent sounding vs going through the RP7 preamp. However, it did not sound as good, being drier sounding and more grainy. With a really good DAC and good analog output I don’t see why one would NEED a preamp though.
Is a preamp needed ???
If I only wanted to stream music or listen to digital sources only do I need a preamp?
for example could I use the lumin t2 connected directly to my power amp for streaming without sacrificing audio quality?
