You can always try and see what works/sounds better. In my case, it was a no-brainer: MDAC straight into my power amp was so much better than having the pre-amp in the chain. I have since sold my pre-amp and I do not miss it one bit.
Does anyone have any experience or thoughts on using the volume on the M-DAC in conjunction with a separate pre-amp? Would it defeat the object of having a separate pre-amp? My pre-amp does not have a remote control and having remote use of volume control is something quite important to me. I want the pre in the system.
I will be running a SB Touch in to a DAC, then Croft pre / Quad 900 power. I did in the past use the volume on the SB but found it really didnt work well, I had a hiss issue which disappeared when I disabled it. So will setting the pre volume at a fixed point and then using the volume on the M-DAC work without any limitations?
Cheers.
