Need help in picking a good preamp/processor

Hi,

I am looking to replace my no remote acurus RL10 preamp with something that is more recent. I am torn between sticking to just 2ch with remote or a HT proc with good 2ch performance. My requirements are real good 2ch performnace. So if I am going with a good HT, I need very good 2ch performance and good D/A for playing my CDs (I have a panasonic CD/DVD player) I also need the usual DD DTS. But 5.1 performance is just fine.

My amp is Acurus A150 and speakers are Hales Revelation III.

Please help

Regards
Ramesh

Is now a good time to upgrade?
I was very nearly about to upgrade my HT front end. However after much reading I'm not so sure now is the time. For the money we're talking about spending to not have the latest and greatest, is well, a waste of money IMO.
Not all unit have Pro Logic IIx.
Nor the various different input options hmdi, firewire, usb, nw2xstupid, etc.
I've decided to wait a year and see how things shake out.
I was going to buy the new Outlaw 990 pre/pro and some new Swedish amps.
