I was wondering if anyone has tried using the Surround Master V2 without using a preamp inbetween the Surround Master and amps? I know it will not be great as far as having no remote control for the volume, but I was wondering if I could just get a couple of nice stereo amps, like Schiit aegirs, and connect the Surround Master output directly to them. I am getting tired of surround receiver upgrades, and to get a new Atmos receiver with analog inputs is really driving up the cost. I was thinking of just doing a separate setup for quad with the SM and 2 stereo amps, but I also know some devices don't process audio well when the level is not correct, due to there not being a preamp between the device and the amps, which allows setting the level higher in the SM and controlling the level output with the preamp.
Does anyone here have experience with using the Surround Master this way, or maybe someone from Involve could provide some advice?
I think I saw in an online manual it could be used this way, but want to verify.
As usual, thanks for all the great help from everyone on this site!
