Connecting a DAC directly to an amp?

This is getting confusing (and my previous post didn’t help); the OP, “emerging soul” is using a Chord tt2. “mitch2” is using an Adagio.

This is getting sooo damn complex for my tiny mind.  Very very and maybe toooo techie

To put it simply, your Chord Dac using the remote variable volume output from it’s line outputs, gives over 5volts!!!! at full volume. This is more than enough for any amps on the market.

Use it direct into your amp and forget about buying a preamp, save the money and get sound that more transparent/dynamic/uncoloured in the process.

Looking at a modwright ls300 tube preamp.  Hard to plug dac directly into amp when I have an avr.  Only use for streaming.

tube preamp allows ease of functionality between avr and preamp.

WHAT!!!
If you can use a tube preamp between the dac and amp, then you can use the dac direct and use it’s volume control without the tube preamp.
Which is your thread title  "Connecting a DAC directly to an amp?"
