Why need for two preamp layers?  Is bluesound needed? Any thoughts about installing a roon nucleus?

How do you transition from stereo to ht?  I am trying to find a tube preamp with true bypass, ie tubes off when watching tv, etc.  looked at Cary but not a true bypass. 

Lots going on, fascinating.
