What's Good 5.1 pre/pre with DD, DTS, DPL II

I don't need the rear panel changed for SACD/DVD-A, also I don't need output for 6.1 and 7.1

I just want the update for DPLII.

Is it something simple standard update?

I'm goning to cantact Bryston but if anybody has any experience with it...

SD, thats true and I didnt mean to imply that. Sorry. The chip is a software upgrade only. The 5.1 inputs and the 7.1 outputs are unique to the SP1.7 or factory upgraded SP1's.

I am still not sure you must have a SP1.7 in order to upgrade to the newer surround software decoding/encoding (DPLII/DTS:neo 6). Currently my setup is 5.1. It seems logical that the SP1 "could" handle DPLII with the proper software. I digress, that logic could be flawed. For instance, the SP1's boards may not have the proper configuration for the DSP engine.

I would like to add that, not only is James Tanner extremely attentive. Ann Forbes with Bryston (who handled my chip purchase) is just as attentive and professional.

Hey folks... I'm not sure if this is thread is dead or not, but have any of you considered Krell? Feedback would be appreciated as I'm considering this vs. Lexicon.

Thanks.

Krell what? HTS1? HTS2? showcase? HTS7.1?

I was considering HTS2, but found out it lacks the bass management feature... so had to cross it out...
