How configure: 2 PC soundcards + 2x DACs + arcam 9 pre-amp + arcam 9 power amp + Sony amp

[smarkgee]

my 9 pre-amp currently nicely services my 9 power amp

how do i use the zones to allow the arcam 9 pre-amp to output to a sony integrated amp as well as to an arcam 9 power amp?

in fac, do i use zones? or

do i daisy chain from the power amp TO the Sony Amp? or

is there another way to get the sound from the pre-amp (NOT THE INTEGRATED AMP) to the Sony?

i presume it's ok to biwire from the power amp using sp1 and sp2

many thanks guys

BUMP!

I've tried to link each of my PC sound cards to different zones...seemed to work in terms of the right signal sent to the right speakers

BUT

the sound was awful with the Sony amp. do the amps have to be the same (same in terms of some sort of rating/impedence or whatever rather than same brand!)

thanks in advance
