Thanks for the info Alan
The Nad is integrated but can be seperated to power and pre-amp via RCS's in the back. What I was wondering is if the CDP's fixed output comes directly ot of the DAC without going thtough it's pre-amp circuitry, it's obvious the variable output goes through an active pre-amp as I can get gain and attenuation via it's volume control.
If the CDP in fixed output does use it's internal pre-amp and, I plug that into the NAD in integrated mode then there are two pre-amps in operation; I would like to avoid that and, still get the benfit of using remote volume control.
I guess I should try both for a while and see what my ears prefer.
btw. my m60's arrived today (damn, delivery was fast!!) so I'm going to spend the next few days re-discovering my music collection (hehe). Will post with impressions.
