Advice for Pre Amp/Processor

Looking for expert advice on subject. Criteria is as follows: 7.1 audio analog inputs (for SACD among other purposes); 7.1 balanced speaker outputs; processing of all lossless formats including DTS-MA, True DD, etc.; network capability; and 5 or 6 HDMI inputs. Price point would be something between $2000 to $5000. Thanking you in advance.

The M15HD lacks XLR outputs.

I think Kal hit all the ones in that price point. If you don't need five HDMI inputs I'd add the NAD M15 HD as well

Plenty fill your requirements except that I do not know what you mean by "balanced speaker outputs." Can we assume you mean balanced preamp output?

One clarification: the HDMI need to be at least version 1.3, better if 1.4. A lot to ask for in a pre-amp/processor, especially when I value both audio and video nearly equal.
