i would really like to preserve the life of the ref3, and not waste it on background music and TV etc.
My other pre amp is a quad 99, but it doesn't have any HT bypass.
In regards to using a HT bypass, im assuming the connections would be:
source > DAC > HT bybass Pre amp > RCA out to power amp (ARC ds450) and also XLR to ref3 then out to power amp. does this mean i will have two inputs connected into power amp, one from each pre?
