Hi, This may be a dumb question but since a Pro Studio mixer (i.e. Mackie VLZ1402) is essentially a pre-amp and since most DVD players have on board processing and DAC's, why not avoid an expensive separate preamp/processor and just go to a mixer then to the amp(s) in an HT set-up? True, you miss video processing (I don't need it) and unless the mixer is digital, you do the analog route. The reason I ask is that you can't get much better neutrality that with a good Pro Mixer and many of them (Mackie) are much cheaper than a pre/pro that would be equal in neutral sound. Am I missing something?
