hello
my current setup is as follows
Platinum achals + a matching center
Denon AVR 2700
used for both music (streaming+USB) and movies (TV + OTT)
i wanted to add an amp to the setup for listening to music.
i found out that it was not possible with my x2700 AVR due to the lack of pre-outs. indirect solutions as follows
Suggestions/Advices needed

i wanted to add an amp to the setup for listening to music.
i found out that it was not possible with my x2700 AVR due to the lack of pre-outs. indirect solutions as follows
- build a music chain with FiiO - BTA30 pro transceiver/Topping D50 or equivalent, amp, existing speakers, AVR
- convert all my connections to banana plugs, unplug speaker connections from AVR and plug into amp when listening to music, plug it back into AVR when watching movies. from a space point of view, there are no issues, but still it is cumbersome
- i always listen to music in stereo mode and hence will not miss the various modes present in AVR
- I use dolby surround mode in AVR for movies
- build a music chain with FiiO - BTA30 pro transceiver or equivalent, amp, existing speakers, and NO AVR
- connect TV to the transceiver through optical out
- Music in stereo mode is possible
- Movies in dolby surround mode not possible
- No plugging and unplugging required since there is no switching between AVR and amp
Suggestions/Advices needed
- Any other setup possible?
- how different would be the TV sound if connected to the transceiver through optical?
- Any issues that i may face if i connect TV to the transceiver through optical?
- any way i can get the dolby surround mode in setup 2 for movies?
- BT alternatives for the FiiO - BTA30 pro?
- Non-BT alternatives for FiiO - BTA30 pro?
- thinking of Norge concerto gold 1000 AMP. any other alternatives?
- any other expert thoughts on the above also welcome
