You want something conclusive and there is absolutely no consensus on anything in this hobby of ours. You need to try it on your system both ways to see which you prefer.

I want to emphasize these two comments!
I have lots of Digital Music. I also have begun collecting analog, mostly Vinyl. I also watch movies and TV. I also stream Music.
The pre-amp is the central point for conveniently managing all of my source components. Moreover, none of their output levels are the same, small quibble but I want the volume level on the pre-amp to be universal.
The pre-amp is your right hand man in listening to audio, you go to the pre-amp for everything. It's like your executive officer. The sources are like your lieutenants, you give them media to execute or really just "play"
If you can limit your self to source and amplification, have at it. I sure can't
