Auricle, cfraser and lwang: Thank you for your insights.
What exactly is direct pass though? Is it just a circuit that allows volume control without post signal processing? Does it have to be part of the processor or can it be accomplished with an add on box between amplifier and DVD-A / SACD player? Of the current processor crop, which good ones include or may be upgraded to include direct pass through circuits without doubling or tripling my initial investment as I think would be required by Proceed?

Some people use Sony TAP9000 for 5ch volume control - lwang 21:36:02 08/26/02 (1)
Then you would need some sort of A/B switch to switch between the Sony and processor. Then you could get any processor you want. Don't let the analog pass-through cut off your choice to many of the great bargain processors out there.
