Integra DHC 40.1


Have an opportunity to buy a slightly used 40.1 for around $700. Will be taking the place of a Denon 2800 used for surround and a B&k Ref 20 for stereo.
My concern is the stereo end. Will this be an upgrade for 2 channel? Generally run the digital through a Pacific Valve DAC 60 but have to have a repair done and am wondering if the DHC will allow me to take the B&K out of the setup?
Thanks
Steve
