....especially your first sentence.It's much harder to achieve excellent results with a passive which requires some thought and critical system component matching. A good active preamp is less fussy and can still sound outstanding.
I'm presently running the Schiit Kara and I'm very impressed with it regardless of its modest price. I've had other preamps that cost nearly 10x.
