Never heard one that didn't and I've heard ones in the 2K range.
Would a source selector switch degrade sound?
Dilemma.
I bought a Rotel RA-1062 integrated amp 7 or 8 years ago that I liked a lot, but I have not set up or used it yet - long story.
I'm finally ready to put my system together in my living room.
I only have one room for a music / HT system so I will only have one stereo / home theater.
Two channel music is most important to me - I'm willing to sacrifice a little on the movie side.
So, to my dilemma...
My Rotel integrated amp doesn't have HT bypass.
Which leaves getting a source selector switch of some sort.
Something like the Niles Audio DSP-1.
But I DO NOT want to set up anything that will adversely affect the sound.
Would the DSP-1 source selector switch degrade the sound?
If so I'm left with either getting an integrated amplifier with HT bypass (and a less expensive AV receiver) or getting a very expensive higher end AV receiver.
Which way would YOU go?
I have B&W DM602 S3 speakers by the way...three pairs of them.
Appreciate all advice.
