I've tried the M1 direct into the amp and with the preamp in the circuit as well.
My Luxman allows me to switch the preamp out if needed. I prefer the preamp in the circuit.
I have not yet heard a DAC direct into an amp that really sounds as good as having a preamp in the circuit.
This is just my experience. I look forward to hearing the new Bricasti M28s driven directly by the M1 though. I hear that is quite a combo...
