Please suggest Preamp
Hi,
I am looking for a good preamp, but I have a few things that the amp must have:
1. I have a pair of digital active speakers, so the amp needs to have a digital out, preferably coax. Ideally this output should be responding to the volume setting of the amp.
2. The amp should have at least one more digital output, which outputs to a CD recorder. Since I am planning to digitize all my vinyls, the amp needs A/D convertion on the digital out.
3. My budget is somewhat below $3500
A phone stage and maybe even a Tuner build in would be an appreciated bonus.
This is not too much I am asking for, but the problem is that most amps only have one digital output, and many do not let you record an analog source from the digital out. The best solution I have found so far is the Meridian 562V.2 Multimedia Controller. Other options are usually Preamp/Processors, but I don't really need all the THX etc. stuff. However, it can't hurt either I guess.
Please, if anyone can suggest a preamp that would suit me, post your reply!
Thanks,
DrTebi
