| Best "pseudo" multi channel from 2 ch sources I had completely forgotten about the SST Trinaural Processor even though I reviewed it! http://www.stereophile.com/musicintheround/904music/index.html Kal | |

| HT Bypass necessary? Exactly. The preamp is maintained at a fixed gain and all levels (for mch) are adjusted in the AVR.Kal | |
| Classe's New CP-800 Pre-amp/DAC. Impressions? It would make no sense to use the output of the DA if one is going to reconvert for digital processing. I think Classe (Alan Clark) is smart enough to know that.Kal | |
| HT Bypass necessary? Right. It is best/easiest done with a preamp that has a stepped volume control so that resetting it to the appropriate level each time is reliable.Kal | |
| Oppo 980H DVD Player for CD use only If you didn't set it up through the menus to get it right, there's no predicting what you have now.Also, why did you start a duplicate thread with the same questions? | |

| Best 5.1 McIntosh separates OK. So, it seems that you have the Oppo and the speakers and that you want to replace the Kenwood receiver with Mac separates. If you are willing to use the analog audio outputs of the Oppo, you can buy a used, older non-HDMI Mac processor but I s... | |
| Best 5.1 McIntosh separates Lots of things are possible but you need to define what you are looking for. A BR player?A MCH processor with HDMI 1.4?A 5 channel amp?Some speakers?A subwoofer? | |
| Best 5.1 McIntosh separates 5.1 McIntosh tube (or SS) system (with 3D HDMI and media streaming) is not possible for $2000 and maybe not even for $20,000. The only Mac prepro with modern HDMI is the MX150 at $12,000 and the amps will add significantly more.Kal |
