does the x-fi pro have a pre-amp?

If you mean a phono pre-amplifier/stage, no it doesn't like it does. Do you need moving magnet or moving coil phono pre-amplifier/stage?

You can just buy a external Hi-Fi phono stage...around £50-£60 for a good 'un.

The soundcard itself is a pre-amplifier
 
It's supposed to have a RIAA phono MMagnet pre-amp but it didn't work that well for me. Creative's "tech support" didn't know that much either and not ONE review tried it other than reguritating Creative's blurp. Returned my "Elite" Pro.
