HT Proc. with 5.1 analog in, under 1k, good sound?
Hello,
I would like to add surround capabilities for movies and SACD. I'm looking for a HT Processor with an analog 5.1 in, with a good sounding analog pass-through.
A member posted yesterday a Meridian 565 7.1 dd dts processor on Videogon for $550.00. A great price for a Meridian pre-processor and DAC. Not sure about inputs for 5 discrete analog channels, but this does 7.1
Thanks for the suggestions... though the meridian 565 does not have a 5.1 analog in, and the Outlaw is a bit bigger in physical size than I had in mind. (It's huge!)
Just my opinion, if possible, try to find a used A/V receiver with HMDI video switching. Component video inputs will eventually be obsolete, and will make it harder to sell non HDMI processors in the future. Most A/V processors are large because they try to accomdate every possible source and every possible input/output jack type for backward compatibility, but bigger is not always better.
I don't know how much the audio refinement pre 2 dsp is currently going for, but it will do what you are looking for. The newer versions have dpl II as well. Mark
