Try an EAD TheaterMaster (Ovation) you will get Six Burr Brown PCM1702 20-bit DACs (excellent for two (2) channel), HDCD®: processing, DD and DTS equally as good for 5.1. You can pick them up used from between $1800 to $2200. Upgrade it to an "8" series and you will really kick @#*! There newer stuff is even better but you then get in the $3,500 plus range. But these truly out do most of the supposed equal's like the Sunfires, B&K's and yes even the Krell Theater Standard's
Surround processor recommendations
Well, I just got my Anthem AVM back from repair at Sonic Frontiers. Take it out of the box and it's in worse shape then when I sent it in. Unit is less then 18 months old and it's going out with the garbage.
So, I need recommendations for a new processors. I need a unit that will be used primarily for audio so sound quality is important in 2 channel. It must pass HD component video and 3 inputs would be a plus but 2 would suffice. It must also have a 12 volt trigger and balanced outputs would be great.
Processors that I am considering: adcom GTP-860, b&k ref 50, Parasound Halo C2. Unit must be new and come with manufacturers warranty.
