Yes, you would need two converters and two stereo amplifiers if you want all channels to be higher power. Yes, you could just use one converter to add a higher power external stereo amplifier, for say the front channels, and use the Sanyo to drive the surround speakers....and since I have a quad system, I will need two of the converters? Will I need to get TWO power amps... or can I just use the amp in the Sanyo to drive one of the pairs of speakers?
EDIT: It seems that the converter in post #38 is a four channel unit. If you used that one, you would only need one converter for all four channels.
Or you could buy one four channel high power amplifier and use it, along with two converters, to drive four channels. i.e. https://emotiva.com/products/amplifiers/xpa-gen3
Yes, that is the way you would hook up the converters. One converter module for the front speakers and a second the surround speakers or ->…Here's one diagram I found... but again, I've got a quad system:
