I've never found bypass particularly useful. I traded in the only piece I ever owned that had it.
@carlsbad , I think that work around works for me too, thanks |
@lalitk your comments show that you do not understand ht bypass. HT bypass has exactly zero impact on 2 channel sound. But there are many in the same boat who avoid HT bypass because they think it is a compromise. Jerry

@audiotroy , thanks for the work around and everyone else thanks for the suggestions |
To name a few, ARC REF 6SE & LS28SE Modwright LS300 & LS 36.5 Tube Linestage Backert Labs Rhythm & Rhumba IME, you’re better off keeping 2-ch and home theater separate. Can it work, sure but the end results can be very mid-fi on either side. If you’re striving for ultimate performance in both arenas, keep them apart. Been there, done that with ARC / Modwright on 2 ch and Classe Delta Series / Krell Evolution Processor and Amps on HT - 7.2 driving all B&W 800D2/HTM/804D/SCMS/JL Audio f212v2. |
Not a fan of Primaluna but I think they have an HT bypass. My tube integrated has 2 inputs. I use my DAC as a preamp so I turn up the volume to max on my integrated. With the volume turned up to max, each input is the equivalent to an HT bypass (HT bypass bypasses the preamp). So my DAC goes into one input and my HT goes into the other. Works great. Jerry |
