I'm pondering adding AV to my system's repertoire. I will only do this in such a way that plays second fiddle to stereo performance, in other words I won't compromise stereo performance in any way to achieve the AV functionality. With that in mind, I have come up with a plan, but it requires a specific capability on the part of the AV processor. I will feed in a dd or dts stream to the AV processor from the DVD. What I want to get out is line level (or speaker level...) for centre, surrounds and LFE, and I want a PCM stereo digital output for the front channels to feed to the DAC/DEQ. Is this a normal and easily doable config on most AVRs? I was thinking along the lines of the Rotel RSP-966/976 processor and a 6 channel rotel power amp (bridged to 3).
