I'm sorry my question wasn't specific enough so here it is... Do either of these HDMI outputs supply a multi channel signal that could supply a newer model preamp? Are any new AVR's even using dedicated HDMI port instead of RCA? I realize just buying a new AVR with pre-outs could solve this problem, but I'd rather "invest" any monies to a preamp rather then another AVR at this time, but still retain my other two channels to run the Atmos since my amp is only 5ch.
