I did not require my other preamp because the DEQX does this very well, reducing components in the signal path and it is transparent sounding
It has both digital and analogue inputs, balanced and unbalanced (HDP4 has USB as well but I don't need this)
The DEQX has analogue volume control outputting to the power amps (digital volume option included) and yes, I have used the onboard DAC which is very good, configured as below:
CD transport input to Balanced Digital XLR, onboard DAC, then onboard XO/speaker correction, output to external treble/mid/sub power amps, then to Speakers & subs (likewise for a Digital streamer to coax unbalanced Digital phono input etc)
A Turntable and SACD player use the phono and balanced XLR inputs
