Pre/Pro with 2 MCH analog inputs plus..

The 2 seperate 5.1 inputs has me stumped..... I don't know of ANY pre/pro that has TWO....

I'm sure they exist, but they may not be in the format you want (ie Chiro C800/C5.1 has 2 seperate analog inputs...one is a DB-25, one is RCA....but the DB-25 is used for the C5.1 input...thus eliminating the second when you need two inputs....

There are several preamps with 2 but, so far, no pre/pros. With a pre only, I'd need a sepatate pro and that would mean that I'd then need 3 inputs on the pre. Vicious cycle.

Thanks. That's an option if there are no other alternatives.
