"DCS Delius" DAC direct to Amp?

I have been looking for a new preamp of late, having a tough time making a decision. I currently have two digital sources - CD transport and a server based system (Duet) going into a DCS Purcell and on to my DCS Delius DAC. The Delius has volume control, balanced outputs and a remote control.

Has anybody run the DCS Delius direct to amp and what have your results been? I have done this twice in the past with a Wadia (didn't like it) and also with my Audio Aero Capitole (liked it a lot).

Vs. running with a legitimate preamp, what has anybody's experience been with this direct approach using the DCS equipment?

I am interested into which way you went.
I have used a Duet and just changed SB Touch. The Welborne power supply made quite a difference to the Duet and in your system I'd say the difference would be far greater.
I'm running a Camelot Uther directly into a Gryphon amp and am considering changing to a Delius, though I would not be able to audition. Do you by any chance know the Uther DAC?
Best regards
