I would like to keep my existing high end front end setup but incorporate
a
high end surround home theater to my existing system. Meaning that I
would
like to add in center and rear speakers and surround decoder.

My DAC has a digital throughput that I can pass to a surround decoder.

Any recommendations on how to best set this up without having to undo and
redo connections every time I watch a DVD?

I interposed a simple A-B source selector switch between my pre and power
amp. Source A is my pre-amp, source B is the main pre-outs of my HT
receiver. When the selector is set to A, I have my regular 2-channel
system. When set to B, the main pre-outs of the receiver drive the amp and
main speakers while the receiver itself drives the center, mains and sub.
It's a great simple solution, imho.
