I listen to music a lot and I'm going to need something that I could use an external DAC with, like analog stereo bypass mode.

thanks.


You first need to pin down exactly what you want IE: what sources will you be using, do you want to get into Lossless/HD audio?? Do you want video processing???

Personally, I'd wait a few months. I'm very curious to see how well the new Cary Audio Cinema 11a Pre shakes out. It’s been delayed time and time again waiting for the Cirrus Logic chipset they are using to pass DTS testing with DTS/HD:M. Cirrus just passed testing a couple weeks ago, and the 11a is getting real close to being released. Cary is saying September now.
