Hey Chaps based upon the fact that 99.9 % of you are Hardware smarter than me I thought , I thought about asking the all knowing oracle for advice . So...
I have heard you guys all rave about the ability of the above to upmix to 4.0 / 4.1 / 5.1 from stereo . I thought I'd take the plunge ( when they're available )
Firstly .... Do you guys think a purchase is worthwhile for stereo input only ( I have no quad equipment or requirement) ? I currently pan my quasi stereo to surround with Adobe . Quite happy with my results.
If you think SM is stellar with stereo to surround my problem is ensuring I can integrate it into my existing Sony STR 1080 without major problems ?
I rip all my music to flac HDD so I am currently using the USB input.
So the $64K question can I switch my RX to output stereo from the USB HDD input to the input of the SM (connect via phonos to RX speaker outputs ) and ensure I have disengaged the RX internally so it does not provide source material to the speaker connections. Or am I talking Boll**ks!
Sorry for the long winded question but I don't want to fork out ÂŁ500 for Nowt!
Thankyou in advance
