Meridian as a Preamp Question

I currently have a system comprised of Wilson WP7's a Meridian 568.2 Processor and a 598DP DVD additionally I've just recently purchaced a Conrad Johnson 350 Amp. My question is how do I get the best two channel music and still maintain the Meridian for surround. Would an upgrade to a G61 enable me to get the best from my Wilson's or do I need to add an analog preamp and send two channel analog from a DVD player with analog out to the amp and the digital siginal to amp from the meridian? Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

I use my system for HT and two channel. Presently I have a 861 v4, previously G68XXV, a 565, a Lexicon 8B and a Rotel...in the HT space the Meridians were clearly the best...but with my fronts/2ch...it just isn't wonderful...perhaps because most of these units use digital/chip controls for the volume controls....I don't think using the DAC power of the preamp to make up for your CD player's limitations is the answer...but I am intrigued by using Meridian's lossless setup...but love my Ayre player too much...
