HELP!!! What do I use with a Parasound Halo A51 to make a streaming audio system?


I want to make a streaming system that wakes up and plays when I connect to it with my iPhone or laptop and use multiple speakers instead of just 2 so I have the Parasound A51 to start. All the preamps seem to be home theatre oriented which is fine since I'll use it for theatre as well as great audio sound. I need a preamp with at least 5 single XLR outputs to go to the A51 and then a streamer (a preamp streamer sure would be nice) and it needs to be good quality on par with the Parasound. I really need your help on this one fellow audio enthusiests!

Best possible for the least money. I bought the A51 used for $2500. It appears the preamp will have to be a home theatre type which is ok but the best audio quality is my goal.

And a big part of that is being able to use the XLR inputs on the A51 which makes it hard to find a good preamp.

@imabucfan I recommend this - Integra DRX-8.4

 

It's an 11.4 channel AVR with XLR output for the L, C and R.

 

I'd you want an AVR with XLR for the LCR and the Surrounds you'd have to get the A1H from Denon
