Do you really mean 2 channel or do you mean analog inputs?

I'd prefer to feed my idea pre/pro 2ch audio digital. Via coax or HDMI for hi rez.

Right now, I use a benchmark dac but if I found my ideal pre/pro, i could remove the benchmark and rely on the dac section of the pre/pro to do the decoding. In pre/pro fantasy land I couls also let go of my 2ch pre as well.

At the moment, I dont have any sources that I run analog output from.

Jimmy, Please suggest whether I can connect SACD placyback
thru RCA to this Benchmark (variouble mode) and from there XLR out to my pre? it will work this way? how they sound?
AT the same time Benchmark can be used as a DAC for my Teac 25x 20bit player!!!

Rabbani -
There is a version of the Benchmark that can take an RCA input. I believe that it is called the "Benchmark Pre" or something like that.
But it only has 2ch inputs so if you are thinking about using it as a preamp to work with your sacd player, it will only work for stereo.
I dont know if it will work with your Teac or not. I have only used it for Redbook (Which I enjoy) and as a headphne amp (which I also enjoy)
