I have an Apple G5 Powermac with an optical digital output. I will be building a set of monitors, probably the Modula MT's and need and amplifier to drive them. Rather than use the sound card on the Mac, I prefer to use the digital out and plan to feed the digital input of an HT receiver. The HT receiver however will be used only for stereo, since I can't find a stereo receiver or amp that has a digital input and d/a converter.
(Another possibility though might be to use my DEQ2496 and use it as a D/A converter to feed an integrated amp. I might like to try an affordable digital amp as well.)
What receiver would you recommend for best sound quality, flexible subwoofer crossover output, and a high quality D/A converter. Ability to biamp might also be nice. I have considered the Panny SA-xr55, but am having trouble finding one locally. What other recievers would be our pick for such usage. I was thinking along the lines of Yamaha, H/K etc.)
Any suggestions or experience especially welcome. Out -of-the-box ideas welcome also.
Thanks
