   any recommendations for a 5.1 decoder for domestic use?
I need 2x toslink and 2x stereo rca in, rca outs

I only need a decoder/preamp. amplification is already sorted

Im currently using a teufel decoderstation 3 which sounds fine but is a little lacking in adjustment options - and since the remote has now died Ill take it as an excuse to upgrade

something similarly compact with a couple of bands of peq and delay per output would be super. 

Id also like the option to run the rca ins as pseudo surround or plain 2.0

budget is around £250 and preloved is fine by me

so whats worth a punt?

	I bought a used Emotiva UMC-1 for domestic use. Even though it already is a bit dated, it is really good value for money as I could fine one used for the price range you are talking about. Not sure if its available in the UK though?

	thanks for the recommendation, it looks a bit of overkill for my needs so, inevitably, I tracked one down and bought it. hoping to get my hands on it sometime next week
