Hello Cristian,
Welcome to the forum.
The set-up you described should work just fine with a D200. You'd configure a pair of RCA inputs as stereo line inputs (e.g. Line 1, in the default configuration) and set the max. input level to match the preamp output level from your AV receiver. Depending on how you want to stream from your PC you could either use the USB input, or a network connection (wired Ethernet or wi-fi). If you're using Ethernet or wi-fi you'll also need to install the AIR virtual sound card driver on your PC. You'll be able to use the remote control to switch between the line input and streaming sources.
The only thing I can see that might be a concern is synchronising the output of the D200 with the Primaire in your 7.2 set-up to avoid any "echo" effects. The delay (latency) through the D200 is very small, I believe, and from what I can see of the A30.5 it doesn't look as though it has any DSP on board so it should probably be fine without any special configuration. If necessary you can add up to 20 ms of delay in the D200 to compensate for any delay in the A30.5 (look in the Speaker section of the configurator if you need to do that).
If you have any problems please follow up here as there are many forum members who'll be happy to help.
