Passive preamp

Hello. I wanted to learn more about running a preamp in passive mode versus active mode.  Am I correct in thinking that passive mode means it is not altering the audio signal?  My question relates to a Schiit Frida s that I am using in passive mode, using it essentially as a switching device.  Am I missing anything?.

I did try using the Bricasti M3 as my preamp, and DAC and it worked a beautifully. The sound and dynamic range is really nice, don’t have the remote control though.

brian zollner at bricasti will be happy to sell you the remote kit with sensor, umbilical and handheld... it works well, if a little old school

@jjss49 I thought all MDX board M3 units are remote control ready. But verify with Bricasti.
