About D/A conversion and preamp

I am new to this forum and I have found alot of useful information so far. I will soon be purchasing a laptop and I am considering using m-audio with a firewire interface. I have a few basic questions. I am under the impression that the firewire interface is a D/A converter, so that is taken care of right? Also, I have read several suggestions for using a pre-amp before the DAW. Why is that better than going from the mixer/sampler straight to the DAW? Thanks for any help in this.
