My Wyred4Sound STP-SE has a a pretty nice implementation of this feature. It allows you to choose from any of the regular inputs to assign as the HT input, using a simple set-up procedure. While I have separate HT and stereo systems, this feature lets me use the preamp to switch from CD to phono input to drive a headphone amp directly from the source at line level. I have the headphone amp connected to an unused RCA output on the STP. You must also remember to turn the speaker amps off first!. I don't have to swap the input cables to the headphone amp.
Quality pre amps with home theater by-pass
Was looking at the pass XP-30 and was surprised (and delighted) to see they have included what looks like a "thoughtful" HT bypass on what is their top tier preamp (save the XS).
Wanted to see if folks are aware of other similar quality pre amps with the HT bypass function.
