Dumb question HT bypass

Thanks. Since I have a Rogue Audio Ares Magnum tube phono stage, now I’m veering towards a Rogue Audio RP-7 tube preamp which gets rave reviews at a fair price. Likely a better match for my Model 12’s...
And maybe a SMSL SU-9 DAC.
Which DAC are you using?

Ah, forgot you don’t have pre outs on your AVR. So, are you routing your stereo preamp line outs into your AVR?

Sort of. A pair of XLR's from the Classe to the Rogue RP-7 for home theater. That's the only cables from my AVR.

My balanced interconnects that run to my Rowland Model 12's will be plugged into the Rogue preamp for straight up 2 channel. Same with my phono stage interconnects, BluRay and Node 2i interconnects.

I could connect my Node to my AVR for surround too. BluRay HDMI already in my AVR.

Ok good luck. It is my opinion that you won't achieve good 2 channel sound that way.

fiesta75- Were you answering to me? I'm not certain...If so, can you describe why not?
It seemed to me that if I connected my phono stage and BluRay to the Rogue preamp, and then balanced I.C.'s out to my 2 Rowland monoblocks it would be good and proper 2 channel.

The only other connection is a balanced interconnect from my Classe AVR to the Rogue preamp for home theater. Thanks.
