Hello,
I got into HT back ooh 12 or os years ago and have forgot a few things plus times have moved on.
My pet issue I have at present is wanting to use my soon to purchase mullti-channel amp (Plinius Odeon) to drive my speakers (M & K) without using a receiver's in-built amplification. Can I purchase a receiver that is a pure decoder of all encoded signals (DTS, THX, DS, etc) have the reciever send this information to my pre-amp which then sends it to the power amp? Or do I have to go from Receiver to Power Amp? And is there such a receiver out there?
Bear in mind I am going to hook the DVDP up to a Panasonic AU500 projector via DVI so want to ensure system is not compromised. Oh and its 7.1 set-up as well.
Thanks in advance - even a pointer to a FAQ would be great.
