DTS Processor for Yamaha A3090

With the A3090 being an old but well regarded amplifier. Has anybody ever just bought a DTS processor to use with it?

If so which ones would you recommend. Thinking along the 2nd hand route.

Re: DTS Processor for Yamaha A3090

Hi,
I don't think the standard Yamaha DSP-a3090 has 5.1 channel inputs does it?,
Or a full set of pre-out/main-ins?.
So I can't really see how you would add a DTS decoder .

Paul.

Yep, the 3090 does not have 5.1 inputs. I nearly bought it but then the A1 was announced, and I waited for that.

Anyhow, you could use it with an add-on processor/3-channel amp like the Yamaha DSP-E800, then the 3090 would only drive the front channels.
Or use any other AV amp/receiver with pre-outs for the main channels, which are then fed into the 3090.
