What a great product to fill a void in the av market. I simple preamp not cluttered with uneeded buttons and features. Price is $895. The piece sounds great both in stereo and in dolby digital. No video switching, which is unnessary if you have enough inputs on your tv. Money saved on video switching used in high quality build and components in this piece. Check this piece out before you drop money down on a cheap DD receiver or spend $3000-5000 on a preamp.
