The main weakness of the DSP-E 492 is a conceptual one,because in fact the device does not serve as a configurable 3-channel extension of an existing stereo system, instead, it degrades the existing integrated amplifier or receiver to the output stage of the front channels. This is still ok with a mid-range system. However, if you already have a top-class stereo system,you are sacrificing the quality of the existing preamp of this 3-channel extension for 5.1 surround sound. In addition, the configuration options for adapting to the existing space are simply not sufficient. While the power amplifiers are designed discreetly and offer good playback quality, the built-in preamp is an opamp grab of the inexpensive variety. No wonder that this device is found quite often, for example, on Ebay.
