Question on my set-up

Hey all. I'm going to add an EverSolo DMP-A8 to my 7.1.5 HT / Stereo combined system, and I could use some advice on how to better connect everything together.

So the logical connection would be this set-up #1 (correct me if I'm wrong).

My issue is that I would prefer my family/guests to not have to touch the M2Si amp to switch sources or control volumes when they want to listen to CD or music streaming services after watching TV. (I'm the only to use the turntable, so this one is OK).

So I'm thinking about this set-up #2 which allows the music streamer and CD to be usable by changing the source on the AVR for other people, and changing the source on the M2Si for me.

Or I thought about this set-up #3 as it could allow me to always leave the M2si in the HT bypass mode. But I don't know if this truly bypass the AVR and make the best use of the EverSolo and M2si components.

What would be your choice between #2 and #3 ? Any option that I am missing or misunderstanding ? Or should I stick with the #1 and just prey that no-one mess up. :rolleyes:

Did you ever come to a conclusion? I have the same question, only I only have a denon 4800h and no integrated amp.
