Currently using a Yamaha RX-V1400 for Movie and SACD duties. I have dedicated Power Amps for Surrounds and Center, and run back through HT Passthrough on my Pre Amp for mains. I have superb two-channel audio and looking to upgrade the SACD sound in my setup.
In anyones opinion here, and I realize how good something sounds is very personal and subjective, but does anyone feel that going from the Yamaha to a dedicated processor like the C2 or the 7100 will improve the sound of SACD playback for MCH??? Remember I will use the analog outputs from my modified Sony player into the processor, then Pre-Out all channels to dedicated amps. Currently, the Yamaha DOES NOT POWER any channels.
I am not looking for the processor to take over two channel duties, just MCH Music and Movies.
Movies are not my main concern, nor is video, as I get a good enough picture for myself now with an Oppo Player with HDMI direct to TV (XBR-960). I run digital from Oppo to Yamaha for sound, but sound for movies is not a big thing either.
Anyone here go this route and find the dedicated processor REALLY did make a significant difference?? I know that bringing one home and trying it out will be the ultimate test, but before I go that route and take up a stores resources and time, I thought I would get peoples opinions?
I have a few processors that I have seen in mind, but the C2 is probably at the top of my list.
