I am using my vanity93 in a 3.1 configuration ( no rear speakers @ the moment). The Passive 6 Channel Preamp is based on the Warpspeed LDR. L+R handled by the Octave DAC. Center + LFE handled by the Bifrost. I am using AudioMagic Liquid Air RCA + Digital. I currently own a CLASSE SSP-800. The passive LDR has a sense of presence + dead silent background unsupported by the Classe unit. BD movies have a different feel. This setup adds a good dose of realism... I can also switch to 2 channel mode. The best of both worlds I plan on getting another Octave Dac for the center channel and moving the Bifrost to the Rears. See attached pic.
