Re: AVR as a pre/procesor

64.1.3.86

I know several people who do just that. I'll probably move that direction as well. Namely using the preouts on an AVR to take the place of a pre/pro. The external cosmetics of your ordinary AVR are inferior to a prepro with similar that typically cost at least 50% more, but I'm not nonvinced there are significant performance differences.

At the moment, 80% of the time I'm just feeding my AVR through the 5.1 inputs so it really serves as little more than a volume control with switching. It's kind of tough to justify the cost of a pre-pro in such a circumstance. The based on pre-intro announcements, the only prepro that hold much interest for me is the upcomming Outlaw audio because it looks like the price will be reasonable and because each analog input has the option to bypass digital conversion and processing.
