My monitor speakers with a built in amp are on stands far away from my desk. I was wondering if I could put the Axiom Passive Preamp such that MBP optical out => MoodLab Concept DAC => Axiom => Audioengine A5 amp.
I will try to use the shortest cables between the Moodlab Concept and Preamp, but there will be a rather lengthy (6 feet) cable after the Preamp to the Speakers. Will the preamp serve it's purpose as a volume control? Will there be distortion introduced?
From my understanding, there need to be enough power coming into the Passive Preamp and I'm not so sure if the MoodLab Concept is up to the task...
