home cinema amp that can match cyrus performance

[scubasteve]

All, i am looking for a single box home cinema amp that can match the HIFI performance of my cyrus prexvs, 2*8 power set up. speakers are B&W805s. Thinking home cinema amp as it will have a built DAC.

Most music will be apple lossless via optical out from apple TV.

What do people recommend? arcam solo movie? linn classik movie? supernait(and ditch home cinema capability). something else altogether

Surprised you haven't seen my posts on this.

In my opinion there is no AV amp 'out of the box' that will match your Cyrus gear.
But the Onkyo 876 (full class A with Burr Brown dac's) fed with a totally clean Mains supply has the grip, detail, speed, timing to impress.
You just need to find a BT Mains Conditioning Unit to plug it into.

Basically, as Trevor says, there isn't one. You're better off buying a budget AV Receiver and using that. You can connect the AV Receiver's pre-outs to an input on the stereo amp, connect the front speakers to the stereo amp and balance the volume. Use the AV Receiver+stereo amp for movies and stereo amp for cd player, dacs etc.
