Hi Giga, I tried the same thing for awhile, plugging the SB3 directly into an amp (PS Audio Trio A-100). At the listening levels I was listening at the sound was very good but not as good as I felt it could be due to the loss of resolution using the SB3's built-in digital volume control. I did a LOT of research on this forum and based on an informative post by Sean Adams, decided to go with an integrated amp instead. Once I tried the integrated version of the same amp, the sound became outstanding. That was MY experience, YMMV.
