If your main concern is music, don't get either one. Get a good two channel pre amp with bypass capibilities and a inexpensive AV processor. Even the cheapist AV processor has the same chips for decoding DTS and DD as the big boys and do just as good a job.
I had a Casablanca II with extreme DACS and just about any two channel pre amp I had beat it for music. Remember, AV processors are computers with volume controls, not true preamps.
