And my experience is that taking the preamp outputs from your HT receiver (if it has them) does not noticeably degrade the DVD movie sound for the fronts. I mean, it's been degraded by the HT receiver already, and further degradation would be the only result by letting the HT receiver amplify too... :)
So you're ahead, taking the degraded signals to better quality gear ASAP in the chain.

But there's something else. If you have a DVDP with 5.1 analog outputs, you can take the DVDP front R/L (of the 5.1 output set, not the stereo set) directly over to your "good" system pre/amp. HT receiver degradation is eliminated. Now it's strictly DVDP degradation, but have eliminated the receiver from the chain...some receivers aren't that bad, really, to be fair, especially in the digital domain, it's the analog domain where they are so easily bashable.
