i have the same problem of how to change a 2 channel stereo into a 4.1 system. I have a McCormack 2 channel amp for front and a old yamaha integrated amp for rears and a REL subwoofer. I am currently using a Sony EP9ES which is getting old and does not have DTS. As I have a Sonic Frontiers pre-amp I do not really want a pre/processor with analogue inputs but looking at whats on sale, it looks like i have no choice but to buy a processor with analogue inputs even though I'm not going to use them at all (since i already have a stereo pre-amp).
but recently, i stumbled across camelot technologies website and they mentioned that their Uther DAC (i think) is going to have an AC-3/DTS upgrade. This is quite fascinating as i can potentially use it as a DAC for both my CD player and DVD player. Also fascinating is that the DAC has its own volume control so in effect it becomes a purely digital pre-amp. but their website hasn't been updated and they claim the upgrade will be available in feb'00.
its a headache, fortunately, i think my EP9ES has about 1-2 more years before it fails (its given sporadic problems) and I don't need DTS that badly yet. i think i'll just save money for a new projector... :)
