My old DVD player used to have an audio delay so that the sound would better match the TV, but my HD DVD and Blu-ray players don't seem to have this option. Some way or other I would like to delay 2-channel audio to get it to better match the video without replacing my amplifier (which only has analog inputs). I thought I might be able to just get a used surround sound preamp and use it to delay 2 channel audio, but from the information I've looked at on different models I'm not sure if that would work. I have seen the Felston or Alchemy2 delays online, yet I would still need a DAC. By that point it's starting to get expensive enough that I figure there has to be either a cheaper or more upgradeable way to do this.

Sony KDS-50A2000 TV
Toshiba HD-XA2 HD DVD Player
Sony BDP-S1 Blu-ray Player
Krell KAV-300i Integrated Amplifier (RCA or balanced input - preamp can be bypassed with RCA input)

The Motu 828 does this, Of course this is a DAC and is somewhat pricey if all one is looking for is a delay. I think I have seen such a thing though on a digital effects processor somewhere in the DJ world of audio, so i'll be sure to pass one the info.
