Marantz A-10 and newest Yamaha. Marantz is expensive but well-made and has 8K passthrough, an HDMI 2.1 , Dirac and 16 channels outputs . Would be ideal if ;
1. the digital volume was in 32 bits ( I don't know if it is ) in order to not decrease bit depth
2. There was a way to bypass the digital to analog conversion , bringing the digital channels to the xlr,s directly ( analog from the manufacturer)
I think this should be an option offered by the manufacturer as it is in the Datasat AP-25 and Trinnov.
However waiting for this to happen would mean that I would be deaf by then...
So hopefully, there is a way to do it yourself ( if y are good at these things) or have a tech doing it for you.
But, I don,t know how to do that ,so I ask this forum if there is already a solution to this vexing problem as I can,t afford a Trinnov/Storm/Datasat given the low value of the Canadian dollar and Canadian taxes on goods ( 17% in Quebec, Canada).
Best, R
