Recommendations for HT processor with HT bypass
I am integrating my 2 channel analog system into my HT system and my current processor (Integra DHC 40.2) does not have an HT bypass that would allow me to drive the system from my 2 channel preamp without having to physically switch the inputs to my 2 channel amp. I would like to spend under $2,500 for a pre-owned piece. The balance of the 2 channel system is a Cary SA200.2 Moon edition amp, SAS Audio tubed preamp, Eastern Electric MiniMax phonostage, Talon Raven C speakers, Metronome tubed CD, and a choice of several turntables (Technics SP15, Kenwood KD7700, others in the "project" stage).
To me the quality of sound is most important, and it occurs to me that having a video processor bypass would be a good thing so as the technology continues to advance, the processor doesn't become a choke point. Since we don't watch a ton of 4K content, I am less concerned about that (at least for now). Looking forward to your suggestions. Thanks!
