JohnThe myryad pre-amp bypasses the subwoofer controls when I use it's 5.1 input as it assumes that the signal is filtered already.
The pre-amp has only Dolby pro logic decoding, so I have to use the DVD player's decoder.
The other option is to connect the DVD digital out to the pre-amp to use the pre-amp's subwoofer controls.
Looks like I have to upgrade the pre-amp soon..

Been there done that. I tried to extract DD with an outboard & a pro logic decoder but gave up as it was too messy and did not work well. Ultimately I went to the other extreme and got a Meridian 861. The obscene expense of this held me back for a few months but I now do not regret taking the plunge as it is a first class audio 2Ch as well as 7.1 surround processor. I understand the Meridian 568 is similar.However I'm presently of the opinion that if Dolby Surround is done properly, Dolby Digital 5.1 is not spectacularly better. However it took the 861 to show what was possible with Dolby Surround, something a Fosgate 2 or Lexicon CLP3 (version 4) could not. IMO surround processing is improving in leaps & bounds so there are probably many excellent choices for you. From posts read here and elsewhere however there are only a select few which also sound good with audio only 2CH as well as surround. I guess this might change with surround SACD & DVD-A on the horizon so it might be a good time to try to be patient (difficult I know) and wait.
Let us know about anything you discover when you decide to audition.
