The KX-R and later the KX-R Twenty are the only preamps I've ever auditioned that actually sounded better than my CD Player/DAC directly connected to my amp.

When I had a Levinson No. 380S I used to use "processor mode" to pass the audio from my CD player and used its volume control.

When I moved to the KX-R, I set the CD player to unity gain and now use the volume control on the pre.
