Is the volume control in the Accession active or passive?
In other words, is there any gain behind the volume control?

No gain but it is buffered. Technically it is active, with a gain of 1. Geek

I thought my preamp had a great sound, but then I tested to connect the Accession "direct" to my power amps. What happened?
The sound is amazing! How is this possible from this tiny little box?

The only thing I miss is the remote control.

I had exactly the same experience (my integrated had the option to bypass the pre stage and just use the power amps  ... which got me thinking.

So I now use the fixed out into a Proprius pair. Stunning!

Any reason NOT to have the volume maxed out if I am feeding an integrated amp?  

Thanks,

Only possible reason IMO would be a sensitive input on amp like an old tuner or tape in that could pverload. Otherwise full volume is fine.
