My interpretation of the current scene is that with so many cheap DAC chips around it is easier for designers to process the whole box & dice in digital format & then convert back to analog. The result can never be as good as top analog-only preamps.

Also the demands for quality sound for HT are not high as the concentration is diverted to the visual content plus the DD effects of bombs going off behind you etc. I gather the general consensus is that most HT is really mid fi, maybe a little better in some cases, but not close to top analog. Now I am not trying to rubbish Lexicon & others as they make superb digital gear. But that is the point, it is digital.

Our solution is to adapt a top analog system as the expense of the best crash boom surround sound. I'm in the process of experimenting with a switching box which diverts all signals from a DD processor for DD movies but switches back to my present set up for all the rest. I should be working on that instead of spending time here!!!

Peace at AA
