Interesting to read you have dropped on to a similar set up Ben. I first started experimenting with surround from 2CH with a Audio Pulse One years ago with L/R analog out from vinyl. This "progressed" to an Audio Pulse model 2 and then to a Fosgate 2 which was highly praised in TAS.
I stuck with the Fosgate for a long time until dipping my toes into digital. After some relatively crummy digital processors (it was a long learning curve) I "invested" (that term alleviates the conscience better) in a Meridian 861 which had a number of interesting options. But I could not perform the same trick of leaving L/R alone & feeding more back for surround effects with digital without another DAC. This was satisfied with a Benchmark DAC1 which has been extensively modded by Steve Nugent. Along this road vinyl was abandoned much to the chagrin of some inmates here.
But being the obsessive audio/video nut I must confess to, this has since been changed again with the internal DAC of the Esoteric universal player timer controlled by the G-0s Masterclock. This gives rather nice L/R fed direct to amps from the preamp with synthethised surround via the Meridian. This is just about as far as I can go until weakening to blu ray. Groan, that means yet another player in the system!!
