  Might be best to pick out the best DVD/SACD player you can buy (disregarding the above requirement) and add an inexpensive H.T. pre/pro or receiver with pre-outs. Then you will also have video switching.

  I am using a Sony DVD/SACD player with internal decoding, along with a Sony TAP 6 channel preamp. But I still use an older prologic pre/pro for the video (and other A/V sources).

  I plan to upgrade the Pre/pro later to have better/more decoding options.

    Thanks for the comment. But, I cannot see how this will work unless I am gonna switch cables every time I go from the TV/dish to the rest of the stereo. I assume you are suggesting that I go from the pre-pro 5.1 outputs to the 5.1 channel inputs on the better quality preamp. Problem is, those inputs will probably not be open.

    Otherwise, I would be switching at the power amps every time.

    Thanks

      Guess I assumed you will have more than one set of 5.1 inputs on the new multichannel preamp. The Sony TAP9000ES has 2 sets of volume controlled inputs, 1 set of bypassed 5.1 inputs, and 1 set of bypass stereo inputs.

      My DVD/SACD player goes to one of the volume controlled inputs, and the older pre/pre output goes to the 5.1 bypassed input, using the volume control on the pre/pro. The output of the TAP goes to the power amps.
