[QUOTE="user 1447, post: 443767, member: 1447"] there probably are many pre-amps with this feature but the one that i came across which has almost anything you could ever want is the Emotiva XSP-1 [url=http://shop.emotiva.com/collections/processors/products/xsp-1-gen2]http://shop.emotiva.com/collections/processors/products/xsp-1-gen2[/url] [IMG]http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0104/5532/products/xsp1g2_rear_web_1024x1024.jpg?v=1390598034[/IMG] [IMG]http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0104/5532/products/outputs1_web_1024x1024.jpg?v=1390598278[/IMG] it also has an MM/MC phono stage and the HT bypass allows for either a single sub summed mono subwoofer or a stereo pair which im sure could be used for stereo music as well .... then another useful is the choice between balanced outputs via XLR connectors or unbalanced via RCA .... so if you upgrade you have a choice of whchever output sounds better to you the only issues are the price and that you have to self import otherwise these seem top units for the money you have to spend vs the functionality you get and IMHO one of these coupled with an emotiva XDA-2 DAC would give you a terrific choice of being to use any source known to man for stereo while still integrating with your AV receiver and using the same set of front speakers for stereo as well as AV (as long as your AV receiver has the relevant pre-outs to be able to allow the integration) [/QUOTE]
