So are you saying you are taking a cd source (which does a d/a conversion) sending it to the Modwright pre, sending the tubed analog sweetness output to a cd input on the Denon , having Audyssey do an a/d conversion, room EQ it, then of course, another d/a, then sending the output to the Belles? What do you do with the Modwright preamp's volume control? Why use the Modwright at all? Do you get any of the tube flavor and air/separation once the signal is processed a couple times? great that you are getting good sound, but seems the Modwright pre is "in the way" (and I love my Modwright LS36.5, so what I'm purporting give me pause, but it seems the only thing the Modwright is doing is adding another switcher in front of the Denon processor's cd input).
