tube preamp used with HT
SF Line preamps poor quality? Nonsense. Try reading elsewhere.Kal 
Preamp impedance mismatch with McCormack DNA2
I have used the Sonic Frontiers Line-2 and Line-3 preamps with the balanced line input on my DNA-1 Rev. A very successfully.Kal 
Sub hookup in a 2ch/HT system with preamp passthru
Your stereo preamp cannot do anything with the SUB OUT if you are using it for L/R. It is only 2 channels.The only other suggestion with your present equipment is to use the sub only for HT and not for stereo.Kal 
2 Channel System
And some use 3-way and 4-way speaker systems for stereo. The number of speakers has little to do with the frequency range.Kal 
Sub hookup in a 2ch/HT system with preamp passthru
Simplest arrangement is to tell the processor that you have no sub and that the front L/R are large. Then connect the output of the 2200 to the L/R inputs of the DD-12 with the main amp fed from the DD-12's RCA outputs. This will impose an 80dB HP...

Hard to answer. Are you using the sub for LFE or for bass-management?Kal

Jwilt: "I played around with it a bit. When I set the player's SPDIF (whatever the heck that is) to "PCM", I didn't seem to get any surround information, just the fronts. When I switched it to "Raw", the surround info was there."Of course. As I sa... 
4 ohm vs 8 ohm taps
Have the tech change the new posts to the 8ohm taps.

Thanks for the link. As I said, using the 5.1 DVD-A inputs, which are analog, the sampling rate is irrelevant.Kal 
Ring radiator tweeters - the future?
Unless this is different, ring radiators are several decades old.Kal

Tvad: "OK, I'm bored and determined to help, so I looked through the B&K AVR305 manual which mentions accepting DVD-A up to 24/192 through the 5.1 analog inputs, so I'd say set the player to 24/192 as Kal suggested."Good idea but makes no sens... 
HDCD a flash in the pan already??
No. It already was a flash in the pan. Came and went.Kal 
48K, 96K or 192K
Well, the reason for limiting the output bandwidth is to account for whether or not the device receiving the output can handle it. If you send a 24/192 signal to a DAC or receiver which can only handle 24/48, the extra bits would be truncated prod...

DVD is up to 24/48. DVD-A can be anything up to 24/192, at least in 2 channels, and up to 24/96 in 5.1. So, set the output for 192kHz in order not to down-sample and mangle the best discs.Kal
