Short answer is yes, active preamp might give you a better sound. Interconnect cables between preamp and amp would also be very important, they should not be lesser than cables between source and preamp.
Is there any benefit for adding a preamp for my current system set
I have a MHA 100 headphone integrated amp that is rated 50W 2x channel running to pair of Soliloquy 6.3 speakers..
I’m bi-passing the built in MHA DAC and connected amp to a PS audio direct steam Dac w/ bridge II.
To my ears, the system is satisfying.
My question, would adding a seperate pre-amp between the DAC and the AMP create better sound? I don’t necessarily need the extra pre-amp inputs for now, but would consider buying the pre-amp now if noticeably affected the fidelity. Thoughts, thank you.
