Surround Sound Processor Suggestions

[ajant]

My surround sound processor budget is ~ $7000. , so I’m below the Trinnov and Lyngdorf tier. The processor would be for building a 3.1 system, plus bass management for four Rythmik F12 subs. Again, this would be a processor, not a receiver, as I will be using separate amps to drive the three speakers. From my BD player’s HDMI Audio output, the processor would decode the Dolby Digital and DTS-MA audio from my DVD and BD movies and route the audio to the front and center three speakers and subs, and it would have DIRAC Live on-chip. The subs would come in at ~ 80Hz. Which processors allow me to assign separate channels to each of the four subs to provide more accurate bass control under DIRAC?

The new Hyperion devices look very interesting and the Marantz AV10 should not be ignored.

Yes, but omitting the ubiquitous standard USB seems a pointless inconvenience.

AV20 for the ART add on

Yes, same for the new Trinnov AltitudeCI.
