Maybe I'm confused on definition of a pre-amp.

I always thought a preamp WAS a volume control. My analog multichannel (MC) preamp/switcher does have a volume control and also has trim controls for each channel. For DVDs, I'm essentially running the audio through 2 preamps in series(one to do the decoding, the processor DACs have been much better than the DVD player DACs), each with a volume control. For MC and 2-channel music, the source (e.g. SACD player) directly feeds the analog preamp (the analog preamp being much better than the processor preamp).

Now if someone could just come with an affordable DVD player with true balanced outputs on 6 channels.
