In Reply to: Maybe I'm confused on definition of a pre-amp. posted by oscar on June 10, 2004 at 05:36:01:
I thought you were talking about connecting a DVD player with multi-channel analog outputs directly to amps. If there is a multi-channel preamp/switcher involved, then yes, it would definitely work. However, as far as surround formats beyond 5.1, you'd be at a loss. This may not matter to you or you may not want to add more amps/speakers into your system.I don't know of any manufacturer that offers 6 channels of balanced analog outputs from their DVD player. Even Krell's DVD Standard only offers 2 balanced audio channels and that player is about $8k.
