I'm confused on what your asking and what a CBI is. However, I do have an old processor and a new bluray player (Pioneer Elite BDP-09FD). I use analog out from the 09FD into my classe ssp-600.
Then the classe goes to my McIntosh C500t pre-amp in home theater bypass mode.
It sounds fantastic!
I just got through doing homework on whether or not I will get better Blue-Ray sound by getting a processor that can handle the codecs. The answer is I have the best for my price point. I would have to spend around 7k+ for a processor to get better HT sound.
I hope that helps!
