Hello!
I have a DC1, and what I did was build a second, dedicated 2 channel system in another room. This is the expensive way. I fell into the HT trap 4 years ago and thought that the DC-1 would be a "be all, end all" solution, boy was I wrong, though I am very pleased with it for movies, and when I want to play around with surround modes.
Many preamp manufacturers have a HT pass-through or unity gain mode that will allow you to use your system both ways.
My BAT VK50SE has that ability, as do MANY other brands today.
Hope this helps!
Paul
