Re: from 2 channel to Home Theater

Interesting, I've been considering this exact setup - well almost exact anyway. I have the Sony STR-D4ES reciever and I was considering using a digital amp (Bel Canto EVO2, PS Audio HCA2 or even Spectron Musician). The nice thing about these amps is their low power consumption and dual inputs - balanced XLR and RCA.

I was thinking about using the RCA inputs driven by my home theater reciever pre-outs, and the balanced XLR inputs with a cd player with volume control and balanced XLR out.

I checked with PS Audio and they did confirm this worked, but at the same time I think they wanted to make a sale with their new preamp. Hence they recommended their new pre with HT bypass. I really have no need for multiple inputs for 2 channel, since I only own CDs.

Any thoughts? This has only been brainstorming at this point, have yet to 'pull the trigger' for a high end 2 channel system...
