I've been running mine into a BMC DAC/Pre then into BMC M1 monos. In this instance, the BMC combo employs a gain management technique whereby the gain is increased in the amp, rather than attenuated, and this produced a slightly improved sound to the M1 running direct into the amps.
I'm selling the BMC combo, and receiving shipment on a Bricasti M25 in the coming week, and looking forward to running direct. Prior combinations of the M1 running direct to M28's bested multiple preamp combos I have heard.
I'll provide an update after everything is up, running and broken in.
