First up I tried a Technics SH-AC500D and hated it. I understand the Sony units are better but be careful about the lower end processors as they are pretty basic and some are not suitable for good audio.

That aside, it depends on whether or not you already have a 2 channel preamp and intend to patch in a pre-processor or whether you intend using a pre-processor only.

Some pre-processors have "direct" facilities meaning the signal goes through unprocessed BUT if they also control volume the odds are that is in the digital domain meaning the analog input is digitalised and then converted back again, undesirable in a low end processor. This is not "processing" in one sense but is undesirable.

It is not difficult to construct a two way switch so output going to the two main channels can be switched either from the analog out of a preamp or of a processor.

The answer to your question depends on what you already have.
