Hi, I just bought a new system with the Transporter plugged directly into the power amplifier and I can only highly encourage you to do the same. Having a high-end system, the result is simply superb! The shortest is the signal path, the better is the sound quality. Furthermore you'll save the extra amount of money for the pre-amplifier (which generally costs more than the power amplifier itself).
My advise: do not hesitate one second and skip the pre-amplifier. However, you just have to be careful with the sensitivity matching between the transporter and the amplifier which may require some passive attenuation (use the built-in jumpers of the Transporter if you use RCA cables, external attenuators if XLR). Good luck.
