5.1 (6.1, 7.1) channel pre amps (1 Viewer)

[Kevin C Brown]

I, probably like a lot of people out there, have a very nice 6.1 (or 5.1, or 7.1) pre/pro (or receiver) that I have spent way too much time setting up, and don't want to change it simply to add the analog inputs necessary (now) for DVD-A and/or SACD.
Sony, for the TA-E9000ES, has come up with a 5.1 analog pre amp, the TA-P9000ES, which takes care of this. And theoretically, any other 5.1 pre-pro/receiver (with pre amp outs) without analog inputs.
Anybody know if there are any other units like this out there?
(An analog pre amp with 2 or 3 sets of multi-channel inputs that allows switching between say the normal output of a DD/DTS system and a DVD-A and/or SACD player.)
Or, is this market too small and maybe the Sony unit will be the only one?
Cheers!

I believe Audio Refinement makes such a preamp. You can look atwww.audiorefinement.com to see if it will work for you.
