  ..and at that price range maybe the Denon 2105 or 1905. The 1705 will not work as it does not have pre-outs. I haven't explored other brands but I've been happy with my Denon 3803 (which is the previous model to the current 3805).

    i use the 5900 connected to the 3805 receiver via 5.1 RCAs and 1 Dlink connector... it outputs all but the SACD signal via the Dlink. I then use the pre-outs to a PSAudio HCA-2 for the front-ends.. soon to be driving some Spendor S5Es to replace the VERY tweaked Athena speakers.... The 3805 as a pre works pretty darned well together with quality power filtering and cabling.... I really like this setup because it gives me great 2 channel audio and killer 5.1 for HT.

      for a while i was using a little passive pre by CIAudio that they custom modded for me. Basically getting the HT bypass function neat and cheap! So this gem of a little passive has 2 switchable inputs to 1 output..... I had CIAudio re-wire it so that when input 1 is selected it bypassed the attenuator and goes directly to the output. Input 2 gets variable attenuation and output. I take the pre-out signal the Receivers front L/R via input 1 and direct from the 5900 for L/R to input 2. The output goes to the HCA-2..... Works VERY well... flip to 1 and user the HT processor, switch inputs and get a sweet passive pre attenuted direct signal to the HCA-2.
