Hi David,
Your question has been discussed here in lenght, and over and over again.
The results you can find here:https://dcs.community/search?q=preamp
dCS do not recommend passive attenuators:
Yes, in many cases this unveils extra detail. Note that the DAC’s 6V setting may be too high, forcing you to set the DAC’s volume control too low. Vivaldi’s volume control works well down to around -40dB, while the other products start to lose detail with the volume below -26dB. Changing to the 2V setting allows the volume to be raised by 10dB. The acceptable loudness will be different for each system and listener.
The Vivaldi DAC v2.00, the Rossini DAC and the Rossini Player feature two lower …
For other products, if you find you have to set the volume too low, we can only suggest that you resort to passive attenuators (not recommended) or a good preamplifier. Please consult your dealer for help.
