Opinions please on older Sony ES Pre-amps

I currently have an old Adcom (565) pre-amp along with an Adcom 545II Amp and a fairly new set of B&W CDNT 9 speakers. I am replacing the pre-amp with a Sony TA-DM1000ES because I really want a remote for controlling volume. Any opinions on if the Sony will sound better or worse?

Thanks,
Jon

I owned The Sony TA-1000 ES pre amp for a few years in the late 80's . I dont recall the model having the letter DM in it ? . But my honest opinion is that it will sound horrible.
It was made when the word "digital" was just coming into public consiousness. Revolutionary for its time, but antiquated for today.
