Challenged with Going from Integrated system to separates


Hello,

I have an audio /home theater that is all powered by a marantz 7015 and 4 external amps. In this scenario , I use marantz AV receiver as video processor , and preamp .  I have dedicated amps to power up my 7.2 channel.

 

i have recently decided to go separates and picked up McIntosh MCD12000 as the DAC and C12000 preamp which will feed into a McIntosh 1.2k  mono block AMPs for 2  channel audio . The c12000 preamp as bypass mode if I wanted to bypass a video processor for 2 channel audio.

 

Challenge /question:

 

how do I put the marantz AV receiver in this set up , so that I can use the marantz for home theater  processor ?

+ @oddiofyl I use my McIntosh MX120 in Home Theater Bypass mode with my C2300. Works great.

Doesn't McIntosh preamplifier turn off the video display when not using bypass mode?

@soix

here is the Revel subwoofer manual https://www.revelspeakers.com/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-masterCatalog_Harman/default/dw6c150d87/pdfs/Revel_Performa3_B112V_B110V2_QSG_EN.PDF

Sub has both RCA and XLR, I was hoping I could connect the AV receiver for home theater 🎭 to the RCA and use the XLR for 2 channel audio off of the C12000.

based on my human logic, this should work as opposed to using a Splitter at the Subs . Any thoughts ?
