Preamp help!

I have been using the Mbox 2 mini for a couple of years and I'm ready for a new preamp. question is how do i hook up a new preamp properly to Pro Tools without using the mbox pres. Ive been told to plugin to the LineIn/DI and keep the channel gain/volume down and it will bypass the mbox pres? others say that that isn't true, that whatever you plug into the mbox uses its pres.

Does Tascam US-144 need preamp?

Just ordered a Tascam US-144 interface. I currently have a PreSonus BlueTube mic preamp (older blue version) that I was trying to get rid of thinking that I didn't need it, but it occurred to me that it might be a better quality preamp than what is in the Tascam. I can bypass the Tascam mic preamp by using line in, correct?
