Absolutely!!..can I say again?...ABSOLUTELY! You should try the Classe SSP25(used) or SSP30 pre-pro!!! I garantee you...absolutely garantee you, that you will not find a better pre/pro in either DD/DTS, or dirrect 2 channel throughput(for analog in's) for music, than the Classe's!!!
Infact, for digital in 2 channel PCM 16/44 CD playback, it's also pretty darn unbeatable as well! However, if you have a really top end CD palyer, or analog source, the "dirret through-puts on this unit are fantasticly clean for a pre/pro!! Also, don't for get digital movie sources..can't be better than this really!
I've played with quite a lot of pre/pro's in my day(a lot really!), and also had some very high end/expensive 2 channel preamps and gear. And this has got to bet the absolute best value/performer in a pre/pro that's made....refering to Classe SSP's!!!
Anyway, if you can get your hands on one of these, I submit to you that you'll never find the need to change!
good luck
