5.1 / 2 Channel


Hello folks,

I currently own Marantz SR8002 HT receiver with Aperion 6T speakers. I have bought PerfectWave DAC/Transport duo. My intention is to have a high quality 2 Channel music listening experience without losing the existing HT setup. What components do I need to add to make this possible? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply and the tip. I will certainly do that. A friend of mine suggested that piping the DAC through AVR may compromise the musicality and suggested I try a dedicated amp with HT bypass.

How do I connect a separate 2 ch power amp to my AVR? I guess I will connect the amp to pre-out in the AVR, and connect the front L&R to the 2 ch amp. Does this sound right?

Will this arrangement cause any problems if I want switch between movies (using the AVR) and music? How do I match the volume?

Thanks again.

Thanks. Will do so.

Upgrading speakers ...hmm.. there is a limit on what I can spend now..:)

I bought Wyred 4 sound preamp and monos.
I am able to use the HT bypass and it works very
well switching between 2 ch and 5 ch.

Actually the Aperions are sounding really
good with the added amps. Guess I can keep
them for some more time.
