DAC with Home theater bypass

I've not heard of this being a common feature in a DAC. Are you sure you don't mean a preamp or integrated? That feature is relatively more common there.

The Parasound P7 has multi-channel inputs, so you can run a processor or DVD/BluRay player through it.

If you do not use analog inputs, several dacs are available which have a volume control.  This eliminates the need for a preamplifier.  I have a wadia 321 which does this however does not have HT bypass.   I think the (Wyred for Sound)  Dac 2 is an example that also has HT Bypass and volume.    A preamplifier containing a dac would also work.  The Peachtree Grand Pre is an example that has a dac, preamp and ht bypass.  I'm just surprised there seemingly are not more to choose from.

My Benchmark DAC2 HGC has Home Theater Bypass as well as a Digital Pass-Through. Their newer DAC3 also has these options. You can DL the manuals at: www.benchmarkmedia.com
