Um... isn't an AVR a "digital processor box" ?
I've tried two different "analog" multichannel preamps both of which blew away my "digital" pre/pro for preamp stage performance. This is one reason I'd want to go with a source player w/ decent DACs in lieu of a new (expensive) HDMI-capable pre/pro whose MC preamp performance is not likely to match my current preamp.
