HT Processor Failing, any ideas on Multi Channel P

Hello,

I am currently running a Myryad HT processor. Thing is I am not using it for hardly any processing! I want a multi channel preamp to pass through a 5.1 signal from a Blu Ray and I will have a computer/dac setup for music.

My thought was to get a multi channel preamp without any processing for this purpose. Any suggestions?

Should I get something like the McCormack MAP-1

Or perhaps by a used high quality processor and use a analog bypass for HT and the Dac section for the computer? I have noticed some great processors (such as the Sim-audio attraction) for sale cheap!

Thanks

Multi channel and two channel - a mixed system-

Right now I am using a Pioneer elite Blu ray for HT and running a mac mini with optical out into the SSP. I am using the SSP in analog pass thru mode for the Blu Ray... I think I could improve things if I went with an external Dac for the mini

Thoughts?

My system is

Myryad MDP 500 SSP
Pioneer Elite Blu ray
Myryad 3 channel amp for Center and Rear Surrounds
Mac Mini for Music ( all Digital)
Mesa Boogie Baron for Two Channel and Front Speakers
Von Schweikert VR4 jrs...

Hello and thanks,

Just as I thought. Yes I have the BDP-09 and the analog is great. I am thinking that if I go the MCH preamp route I will be safe from future upgrades-something I got tired of with all the possessors I have bought.

I agree and am headed in the route you suggest with the usb Dac. I was really impressed with the wyred4sound dac!

I am interested in your McCormack if you let me know what you want and could send some pictures that would be great!
