I use a Bryston SP3 connected to an Ayre disc player via HDMI and to the by-pass input of an Ayre preamp via XLR. I use its video pass through to the projector, so it's easy to switch between disc and cable. But looking at the Audiogon Blue Book I see it doesn't meet the $1500 criteria.
Krell HTS 7.1 still worth it today?
Been trying to find a DAC/Pre with output capabilities of more than 1 balanced stereo pair. Stumbled into the world of older audiophile level home theater geared hardware and am thinking this is the route to pursue.
Are units of this vintage still relevant today for only sound use? Is there something a bit newer with similar sound quality and the ability to decode more modern audio formats available in the used market for $1500 or less? Anything else to specifically look at. Video is fine going directly to my TV so I am really just looking for something that does hifi 2 channel sound and also capable of doing surround.
