Pre/pro upgrade


I have a home theater system with 5.1 at this point..looking at gradual upgrade and moving to 7.1. Currently, I have an Outlaw 7500 amp, Outlaw 990 pre/pro driving front channel B&W Matrix 501's and center channel small B&W (not sure of the model). Rears are Magnepan MMG's and the sub is Outlaw LFM1. I have an old pair of Aragon 4004's that I am selling to help fund a move to a new 7ch. amp with balanced inputs (that's why I'm not just using one of the 4004's)and want to upgrade to a pre/pro that has HDMI instead of DVI. I am considering among others the Integra 9.9 or the new 40.1 but I have also seen ads for a Sunfire TGP5 7.1 in this price range. Thoughts on the pre/pro choice or other suggestions please?

Larry,

What do you mean by analog DACs? Do you mean DACs for processing analog input or for the output of digital input? I'm trying to decide whether to replace my Proceed PAV/PDSD with an Integra 9.9 or 40.1. I have a DVDO Edge for video processing and a Velodyne SMS-1 for sub management, but both could be replaced by an Intera. But I fear losing the sense of soundstage the PAV/PDSD generate.
