Integra DTC-9.8

Hey Guys,

I just got the Integra DTC 9.8 a couple of weeks ago and I just wanted to let everyone know what an amazing home theater processor this is.

For $1,700 I got a processor that not only decodes all of the new hi-def surround sounds, has it's own built in video processor, but also blows away my old Sunfire Grand III processor on sound quality from standard DVD's.

As an added bonus it comes with the Audyssey room equalizer which is amazing. My room really sounds like a home theater now.

The only caveat to my recommendation of this piece is that it's not for someone who wants to play music from it as well. As can be seen when you look at my system I don't need it for that. However, if someone wanted to do two channel audio and home theater then I would say pass and buy something more expensive. However if you just want digital processing for your home theater this thing competes with processors four times it's price(don't believe me? Read the reviews online).

The issue is not 2 channel vs. multichannel since the inherent capabilities of each channel are exactly the same. It is the difference between the more than competent digital performance of the 9.8 and its marginal performance with analog inputs. So, if your 2channel sources, like mine, are digital, there's no problem with it.
