I do not have a preamp in order to control the volume between my Pioneer N-50 and my 2 G Three speakers. Would you recommend the 9000a to control the volume or a dedicated DAC/preamp if I want the best sound quality?

Hi,

The 9000A is a very good choice as it doesn't change the sound quality at all due to fully passive design.

Unfortunately I don't have experience with the said Pioneer device or other particular DACs so that I could recommend a specific brand or model. In general audio quality differences are very small there and I would invest more on the acoustic treatment of the listening space.
