Hi All,
I have a old, but a very good quality 5.1 Preamp + DTS decoder (Angstrom 200 HED). It can't decode the Dolby or other latest HD formats. Also it doesn't have HDMI input.
Now if I get a Blu-Ray player with built in decoder and 5.1 analog outputs, I can use this preamp with all current audio formats.
But with this option, I can't use the DAC of preamp right?
Is there any other way to decode the latest formats externally and use the preamp's DAC?
One more question, can we connect the BD player's analog outs directly to multi channel power amplifier or we need to use preamp also?
Thanks
Satya
