SMSL D-6 DAC Review

I also use fixed full output, and feed it to the direct in of my power amp - through an external passive volume control.

That is what I want to do too!
What kind of passive preamp do you have?

It is just a dual potentiometer mounted in a box with RCA connectors - no electronics. This is what I bought, unfortunately NLA:

But this is very similar, more than I paid, but looks like it might be better quality:

I have it next to my chair, using Monoprice cables about 6ft long, so I can control volume without constantly going over to my equipment.
No audio deterioration is audible because of the cable length.

Good luck...
