Denon PRA-1500 vs Denon DAP-5500

Not sure where I can get info on these. hHe Denon site does not have info that I have found. Can anyone tell me which would be better to run with a Denon POA-2800? My Receiver is 2 Ch DRA-697CIHD. The receiver has Preouts and Main in terminals, can I run the preouts to the POA-2800 and go without a PreAmp?

Thanks

There's more to life than connectivity. ;-)

Well, there are Onkyo and Integra prepros that approach that price used plus the Integra 40.1 has an MSRP of $1200.

But, to answer your title question (which has been asked many times), the reason is the relatively small size of the prepro market making the unit costs higher for each additional SKU. In addition, the separates market is more "upscale" and the manufacturers' offerings reflect that.
