Pre-processor with XLR output and Dolby Atmos

[MasterApex]

Looking to upgrade from my current pre-pro that does not have Dolby Atmos.

What are the pre-pro options that has XLR outputs (all channels) and Dolby Atmos?

More than a few. Perhaps you could provide some other qualifications. For example: "Costs more than $10,000."

HTP-1, exactly $4k but you need to get a mic for dirac. It's typically considered the best unit at that price.

Any AVR with pre outs... Just need a Multimeter and a resistor.

I have tried balanced Emotiva XMC-2 and unbalanced Denon AVR-X3700H preamp out to the same amplifier and I can’t hear any difference in noise floor. I bet that unless the cables are very long or there is some ungodly amount of EMF interference most people couldn’t tell the difference.

My setup (probably needs to redesign the cabinet) requires me to pull cabinet to access the back panel so I have to run long (15ft) interconnect from Pre-Pro to AMP. When I used regular RCA, it picks up humming so I need to run XLR to eliminate the "hum".

My current setup is a combo stereo/5.1 . I want to upgrade to Atmos capable Pre-Pro and also want to improve stereo system with dedicated DAC so I am doing research on what the options are.

You need to show pictures New pictures so get that DLSR out take some pictures of current set-up.
Also I'd hassle the seller to get the price far, far lower as that AVR really is only worth US, $800, the few grand is daylight robbery. So get lowest price cos XLR is about as cheap as common mud on ebay, XLR electrical and connectors big deal they been in use for decades.
