With a preamp you're never pushing it into clipping, so that's not really an issue.
So, that is my answer. It is no feasible to use digital at low wattage, it is only useful at high wattage, right? But, then, what about the pristinness of the digital sound quality, wouldn't that be worth the effort?If biasing in Class A at such a low wattage makes digital amplification unnecessary, what about preamplifiers that use tubes? They do spend more energy than SS, and yet, they seem to be the standard setters. I am wondering what manufacturers into doing one and skipping another method of design.
