Hi Artem, You are correct in that the ZDSD is like having a built in ZBIT. However, if you add the ZBIT externally, you have the additional benefit of signal attenuation allowing you to dial up, and dial back the voltage which is a wonderful feature. If I were you, I would add a ZBIT to your DA-3000.
With regard to your distortion question, it is hard to comment on without knowing what is causing the distortion you hear. Just to be clear, are you simply hoping to improve the sound? If so, what it is that your sound in lacking that you would like the ZBIT to solve?
Your amp, run unbridged, has an input sensitivity of 1 volt. Most source equipment running unbalanced has an output voltage of 2 volts. This means that your amp will reach its maximum output at a lower volume setting on your passive pre-amp when sending the amp a 2 volt signal (or much higher voltage with the ZBIT).
Regardless of the distortion issue, there is no doubt the ZBIT will improve the sound potential of the DA-3000. However, I cannot say for certain how your particular amplifier will react to that higher signal voltage.
