[QUOTE="KenMasters, post: 1180179, member: 517"] Your best bet would be to go for a Marantz or Denon AVR/C in preamp mode. Given your budget, you're probably going to have to look at the second hand market, or maybe get lucky with an older model on discount. An older model is what you want, something prior to the AKM factory fire. So an early X700H (manufactured before April 2021) or older, but not so old as not to offer preamp mode. Not that there is anything wrong with the current models, just that the older AKM DAC equipped models do offer better on paper performance. [/QUOTE]
