Coudn't find any previous answers on this specifically- I'm planning on buying an mbox and building Allen's under $600 machine. Yet, I'd like to push the sound quality as far as I can with my small setup by getting a higher end preamp and converter. Is it possible to bypass the Mbox preamps or will they remain in the signal path and degrade the quality of the pro level equipment? (I'm not a sound engineer by any means so sorry if this is an obvious question)

Thanks for the input .
