There are many 2 channel intergrated's that have HT pass-thru. Sim Audio, Krell and others. I think this would be a better option if you have enough room for one. Good luck.
Best preamp in an AV receiver
I currently have a Marantz SR9300 receiver which I'm using as a preamp for stereo duties, as well as for home theater.
I can't help but feel that the SR9300 is letting down the stereo side of the system, which includes a modded SA8260 cd player, modded Bel Canto DAC2, and CIAudio D-100 monoblocks for the front and right channels.
Is there any receiver (I'm pretty well stuck with a receiver, given space constraints and the need for home theater capability) which would improve upon the preamp section of the SR9300? Is the SR9600 an improvement in this regard?
I'm aware of the limitations a receiver imposes, but want to get the best quality I can given that it is necessary.
Thanks.
