High quality DPL preamp?

Can anyone recommend a high quality DPL analog-only preamp, preferably with a 5.1 input? DB25 style is OK...I'm considering older Rotel or B & K offerings. Concerns are 1) sound quality in stereo mode, 2) reliability/freedom from glitches. Maybe there are other brands worth looking at that might offer better sound quality and could possibly be had on the cheap now that the HT world has moved on to DD, DTS, THX-EX 10.2 or gawd only knows what...all suggestions welcome.

Hey Dan,

Thanks a lot, I suspect these are both great suggestions. I was looking at an Angstrom a while back but passed it over for a Sherwood Newcastle with DD/DTS. It was actually quite decent sounding but probably not in the same league as the Chiro or Angstrom in stereo. Surround is fun but two channel is my priority and I think I could live with the decoders in my DVD player, so I'm considering going this route. Now I just have to scrounge up the cash for that Audio Refinement multi 5 to go with it :)

Thanks again,

Jeff
