I have played at this game and have yet to find a preamp that I prefer between my Metrum Adagio DAC and my amplifiers.
I've always liked the gain but not at the expense of resolution and clarity.
I don't like digital volume controls either, so I've settled on a DAC that varies the reference voltage to the DACs to control volume.
My preamp experience is not exhaustive, so looking to create a short list here.
Budget is up to 50k.
