[QUOTE="croak, post: 1043885, member: 361"] Modern tech allows a lot of the bells without incurring drawbacks as a lot of the features are already there in the chipsets waiting to be engaged. Volume control is one of these that gives some versatility of use without a pre amp and no sonic drawback when a pre is available and volume set to near max. Could the proper high end analogue pre amp do a better job. Very possibly though not all as a rule. Will a modern dac with carefully implemented volume control hold back such a pre amp? Not imo. Does it go against your ?gut feel? or sense of right to have features you don?t need? Thats a personal thing I think. In the end we do buy with the heart too. [/QUOTE]
