I will be as brief as possible:
My setup is
Reading Amir Reviews I found two possible setups:
Topping Pre90 (and extension) + a Pre-phono (which one I still don't know, advices are welcome) + Fosi V3 Mono (a pair)
Topping DX7+ Pre-phono (which one I still don't know, advices are welcome) + Fosi V3 Mono (a pair)
Main concerns is: Do I need a preamp after a pre-phono, either for volume control or signal level? I would prefer the DX7 as it is useful as an headphones amp too.
Bonus questions: Does every DAC + power amp combo works or do I need a preamp in between? As I understand there is not a need in most cases, but this arises another question: how much is the preamplification important in the final sound? (If almost any dac has a good preamplification then how are they so cheap?)
Do you have any advice? Thank you!
