Here is the reply from Upscale(Primaluna)..

"As long as at least one component in your system is grounded (i.e. your preamp), then you're fine.  The power amp is sharing the ground with your preamp, via the interconnects. "

That's bad advice. The wire in the ICs and i/o jacks is not guaranteed, nor likely, to be of sufficient gauge to serve as a safety ground. If you do this you'll be responsible for any possible consequences.
