I thought of that, but there is no way to turn off the home theater speakers in that scenario, so everything would be on at the same time. Only zones allow you to control output like that.
Need Receiver Help: High Quality Ampification & DAC, Digital input to Zone 2, Older is OK
Hi,
I’m looking for some recommendations.
I currently have an Onkyo TX-NR5008, which has a killer amp (still one of the more powerful in a receiver) and a good DAC. I am using it in a 7.1 setup. It is older, and doesn’t have all the latest bells & whistles and not 11.2.4 channel support... but I don’t need that.
My main issue with what I have is that Zone 2 only supports analog inputs. I want to have Zone 2 be my 2 channel setup (different speakers) and my music library is all digital. The Zone 2 feeds to a separate amplifier.
Does anyone know of a receiver, and it can be an older model, that has the following?
- Great amp with 7 channels+ amplified.
- Great DAC.
- Zone 2 can route digital signals.
- 4K would be good.
- Good room correction would be good.
- Reliable / Good build quality.
Thanks!
