Passive or Active Pre- Amp for Nuforce STA200


The Nuforce STA200 has 34db of gain. I was thinking of the Schiit Saga passive/active preamp because it has a remote volume control. Thoughts on a preamp under $1000.00?

IMHO, the Schiit Saga is the best bang for the buck in pre-amps hands down (only $350!). My plan is to get one myself very soon
Thanks for your reply. I was leaning that way myself. The Schiit Ayr would be another possibility, I think, if it had a remote control.

The  Nuforce STA200 is 51kohm input impedance, which will be a good match for passive pramps, and it's input sensitivity is 0.45v for full output power, so it definately doesn't need an active preamps with even more gain.
The Saga would be great, I would suggest even the Freya $699, it has an even better volume control and more choices and is more versatile.

George, thanks for your input. Since I am a neophyte; what is the input impedance of a typical power amp?
