    Integrated amp w/dvda/sacd player

    I'm getting an int. amp probably one of the rotel's and was also planning on using a universal player to utilize my dvda/sacd collection.My question is i'm not sure if an integrated can be used w/ a universal.Also there would not be a display so would this be a problem in regards to the dvda/sacd player.This would be a system i'll be using at my work space.Would appreciate the help thanks

    I'm pretty sure that no universal out there can downmix a 5.1 DVDA track into two channel, so you would have to stick with the high-resolution 2channel tracks (if available), or a downmixed DD version. A lot of SACD's do have both 5.1 and 2.0 mixes, but you would be out of luck for those that don't include a 2.0 mix.

    You would need to have a TV for initial setup, but after that I don't believe you will have a problem playing the main tracks.

      DVDA/SACD Connections to 1066

      I'm looking at the Yamaha rxv2400 vs the Rotel rsx1056. I want a system that matches and has SACD or a universal player. What can Rotel Offer?
