Good Preamp match for Benchmark DAC1 USB

I would run it straight in a it has plenty of "drive".

yes, the Benchmark DAC1 USB, as suggested above.

Both of you, pardon me I didn't quiet understand...

I thought the Benchmark already functioned as a preamp.

Mark

'Benchmark DAC1 HDR' functions as a preamp with remote.
'Benchmark DAC1 USB' doesn't.

Hence the choice - 'Benchmark DAC1 HDR' or 'Benchmark DAC1 USB' + Preamp.

'Benchmark DAC1 HDR' = around $1800
'Benchmark DAC1 USB' = around $900 used

So if I get a around 1K preamp that matches it well, both choices are about same price range.
