maybe you can by a used or refurb receiver with preouts. it may be more useful when your actuall pre/pro arrives. ie in another room or something

Ebay indeed!
I ended up buying this today for $36
Yamaha RX V692
I think I can use my 5.1 outs on my DVD player to handle the DD decoding, send that to the 5.1 input on the yamaha, and then use the preouts to the emotiva. Probably sounds like junk, but will work until my processor shows up right?
Anyone know if the proscessing on this unit is worth $36????

I don't think it will sound like junk. It will work...but you might not have bass management(crossover control) since your dvd player is doing the decoding. What dvd player do you have?
Edit: Oops... went back and re-read from the beginning and looks like you have a 400 disc changer. Sony perhaps? I assume is doesn't have bass management or any way of setting levels then?

It is a Sony mega changer. It has distance, level, placment, and size controls. It doesn't have bass managment outside of the small/large setting. I don't know what it crosses over at with those two, but hopefully it'll work alright till the UL shows up.
I'm just wondering what the sound quality of this unit will be. I know I spent less than $50 on it, but when it was new it was a whole lot more. Maybe it'll just pass the signal without messing it up too much?

Kaylin, the 692 is going to be used as, essentially, just a volume control, so there's no good reason if it's in good condition that the signal would be "messed up" at all
