Pre/pro don't have HT passthrough in the sense that a 2-channel preamp does. Having them can increase flexibility, no doubt (adding digital sources with either no internal DAC or a poorer internal DAC) or possibly doing away with CDP's in favor of straight transports (nice if one already has a 2-piece transport/DAC and they find that the DACs in the Theta are as good as their existing stand alone DAC?). This is all based on 2-channel listening. However, if one has a mid level CDP or already just has a transport, then the built-in DACs can be a real benefit. Obviously, the better the quality of your CDP, the less benefit the built-in DACs will deliver. The benefit of the built-in DACs on the Theta is a matter of opinion in terms of the benefits delivered.
