| Re: Is there a real benefit to preamps or two channel amps in HT? I have seen posts about sound quality discussion that caught my attention. SQ is not about listening tests or better DAC or whatever. SQ refers to fidelity with regards the input signal. An amp that distorts the output the least will be provide the best SQ. This cannot be determined by listening tests or mood (what sounds good to your ears today might be unappreciated tomorrow), but measurements.
