Andy, I have been experimenting with my own DTAR dual source system. And, it worked well.

I suppose their preamp can power a condenser mic like the TruMic. Though, I’ve never tired it. I use their dual source system (nylon string version) with the built in condenser mic and wire a K&K in place of the UST. Honestly, it’s the least destructive onboard option I’ve tried to date. But it still seems to dampen responsiveness. That might be an acceptable trade off for full time performers.
