The pre/pro will usually be better as a general rule but don't count it. I haven't researched this in detail recently but if your source player has a decent DD/DTS decoder and has very good DAC and volume control implementation, than you might be able to live without a pre/pro. If you have a requirement for a DAC for multiple sources (e.g. satellite/cable box + Universal player), than a pre/pro is a requirement unless your source player accepts DD/DTS digital inputs from other sources.
