What mlsstl describe is an attempt to get a good "gain structure" or
gain staging .
Sources can have to high output level and most likely both amps and
preamps can have to much gain .
If your always use the bottom half of you volume control your system has
to much gain somewhere .
And subsequent

Ah yes marketing - and it's evil twin advertising which is another arena
filled to the brim with equal measures of malice and incompetence.

Except in the worlds of high end audio and politics where it is all pure

You say you are not too technical, but see if this helps your
understanding.
It is generally better to have a good match between the output of a
source device (your Touch player) and the amplifier being used to power
the speakers. While there is a general range of output voltage one can
expect f

Why would you need a preamp?

I have a Touch and have tried it into a quad 306 and esl63's.
Sounds just fine.

I won't get into a debate about whether digital volume control per se is
a good or bad thing.
But if you feel happy with digital
The more I want to make things better, the more I get confused. I have
read a lot of threads but it actually made me more confused. So, here
are some questions.
1-Should I use active or passive preamp between the Touch and my TPA3116
board amp (it has no volume)?
2-Should I add volume pot to my
