What processor competes with best preamp?

Are there any processors that will match sonically the best preamps when playing a good CD? Has anyone done a comparison or blind A/B and not heard any difference( assuming all other parameters were matched)?

My guess is so you can play DVD's but I was curious why you don't want center channel or surrounds.Thanks,Sherod
