MKSOUND_HT Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Hey all, Just trying to work out a surround processor / bluray player with analog out (and volume control) I used to use an Oppo bluray player BPD103A since most of the content will be through netflix but I wanted to get a new unit this time round. Since Oppo units don't seem to be available anymore the only options I could find would be maybe a Panasonic Bluray player for around $550 with analog out. Predominantly the theatre will be used through streaming from Netflix and an occasional bluray movie. Just looking for some sub $1000 concepts for a surround processor (will still need a media player of some sort if I got a dedicated Surround Processor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBurns84 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I use a Pana UB900 which works well for this purpose but no digital volume control. I output its analogue outs to a Korsun D9 5.1 pre/power amp with volume control. I really dont miss the merry go round routine of updating a receiver for this purpose. Like you, i watch a bit of netflix and the odd bluray or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKSOUND_HT Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 Thanks very much for the information. I was thinking about buying an Emotiva MC700 and then using an Xbox One as my main streaming device. Did you possibly have more info on your Korsun Preamp?

MrBurns84 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) heaps of images online - google Korsun/Dussun D9 5.1. There are jumper pins on the right hand side of the amp, where you can remove them, essentially running the unit as either a preamp or power amp. It weighs a ton - 25kgs with massive heatsinks on the sides. 130w x 5 from memory. Also, the .1 sub out has a preamp function to attenuate or increase the input gain to the sub's input. Plus it has a metal remote too, which is handy to switch inputs from 5.1 x2, 2.1 x7 inputs..

MKSOUND_HT Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 Thanks for all the suggestions. I was thinking of running the following combo: Emotiva MC-700 Emotiva BASX A-700 I would only be driving a set of Q acoutics Concept 40 floorstanding speakers and a set of Concept 20 bookshelf speakers (with a concept center speaker). Just wondering what the power rating might be for say 5 channels driven on the BASX A-700 since it was 80w for 7 channels. It would be nice having matching Emotiva gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKSOUND_HT Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 I think the Processor from Emotiva is pretty much locked in, the only thing is choosing between: AMC 25100MKII 100W RMS 5-Channel Multi-Channel Power Amplifier and Emotiva BASX A-700 I am only going to use 5 channels so i'm not sure I will need the extra 2 channels, and the AMC amp seems to have a bit more ompph behind it.

MKSOUND_HT Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 Thanks heaps for digging it up. Believe it or not technically I am still awaiting the funds to put some cash down on both. At this stage the MC700 is definitely on the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caminperth Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I stumbled across the MC-700 and it looks like a "no fuss" solution to those of us who just want half decent sound, 4k switching and 5.1 Looking at replacing my old Pioneer and it seems that if I purchase something new, I'll be getting 11 channels of amps when I only really need 5 and a heap of other stuff I won't use. This could be a good simple way to go with a separate power amp for about the same $$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
