Value AVR with pre-outs (for Fosi Audio V3 Monos)

[abdo123]

I bought my Denon 3800 for 800$.

How could you ever match that with the monoblocks?

I hope this slaps some sense into you.

It doesn't have amplification. So an amp like that, but then also with surround decoding options so you don't need the apple TV for that.

Yeah bitstream decoding would be nice. What do you mean with "it does have amplification"?

I meant to write that it doesn't have amplification

there is plenty off second hand Marantz 6012/6013/7012 ,all have pre outs

Onkyo TX-RZ50 has full preouts. Note that Amir’s review gave this a bad review due to the power amp performance, meaning that your use-case entirely avoids the built in amp issues.

Would the X3500H be a suitable option? Reading Amir's review of that unit he was very damning of the DAC, with issues that are more prevalent at higher voltages (it's a bit over my head, so sorry if I'm mis-speaking!).
