Sorry all, my post was vague. I do have a analog preamp.

In my current set-up, at least when I get the G68 back from Meridian repair, is:

G91 digital out to G68 digital in.
G68 analog out to ATC actives (rears).
G68 analog out to the analog pre (which has a pass through for surround controller), then on to front speakers.

My TT phono-amp connects to the analog pre-amp for connection to front speakers.

The goal is to play 24/192 files that I burn to DVD-A through the analog outs in the G91 connected directly to the analog pre, so they are not downsampled, but still send CD and 24/96 to G68 for digital processing.

G68, G91, BAT 51se tube pre, ATC SCM50 tower (active) fronts, ATC SCM20a rear, Oppo, Apple TV, Sonos, Nottingham TT, Shunyata power condition and cords.
