Sure, to put HD, DAC and transport into preamp would make sense but I am afraid that contemporary music servers are not preamps. The music servers do not have multiple analog inputs. The music servers mostly never have analog volume controls. The music servers can’t defeat all own complex digital build up in case analog sources are used. For sure the idea is elegant but I do not think that anybody does it at the ambitions level. I have to say that I am not a big fan of music servers as a concept, so I have my own negative predisposition to them.
