7K for preamp,HT processor, source

May sell my present rig, CD/DVD/DVD-A player and processor and replace with preamp w/HT passthru, processor and source component. Would like to accomodate SACD/DVD-A if possible. Budget is around 7K for the trio. Music quality more important that HT. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Am also considering going the multichannel preamp route -- has anybody heard any of these? Could pair w/a universal player like the McCormack.

Speaking of McCormack..they have a multichannel pre-amp, I think it runs around $2,000. Most players now days have built in DD/DTS decoders that you could use for movies.

Yeah, am wondering if anyone has paired the two McCormack components. Or the Bel Cantos for that matter, but that's a whole other price level.

I reccomend a listen to the UDP-1/MAP-1 combo from McCormack. At $5,500 for the pair, I am convinced that nothing better is available today, including the Linn stuff, at a much higher price tag. I did not believe it until I heard, and bought the pair.
