I have a 7.1 preamp,is there a 7.1 dvd player?

I own a home theater system. The preamp has a pass through for 7.1. I'm thinking of replacing my SA dvd-cd player. It outputs 5.1 that I'm connecting to the 7.1 inputs. Is there a unit that outputs 7.1?? Thanks for responding.

I have a 7.1 Classe processor
with an Oppo 981 player.The Oppo only puts out 5.1.How do I get the rear speakers to double up with the surrounds?

Thanks

Hook up all of the speakers and let the Classe simulate 7.1.

The Oppo DV-980H has 7.1 analog outs. I plug mine into a Boston Acoustics AVP7, which has 7.1 analog inputs.

I like the sound and performance of this arrangement. It does a nice job on Red Book, HDCD, DVD-A, SACD, and std. DVD video. I actually slightly prefer the Oppo's internal decoding over the Boston in some cases.
