Processor sound comparison- Anthem avm90 vs NAD M17 V2i


Anyone know how these two processors compare when it comes to sound?

I'm using a five channel system and heard the anthem has a better sound capability with the chips they use. But the NAD is pretty good too.

Trying to make a decision between these two processors.

Anyone have any idea?

Just a thought.   I have had 4 Anthems - the latest is an AVM-70.  There is no doubt that they sound the best in my opinion, but they fail, and don't really function smoothly.   I purchased an Onkyo for my girlfriend and I was amazed at how seamless it worked.   Had Dirac built in.   Hooks up with ARC no problem.   Bluetooth, no problem.   Wireless, no problem.   Doesn't sound as good as the Anthems - but I would rather have something that works and doesn't stop working.   I only bought the Anthems because my dealer was so fantastic - but they need some new software writers.  I might look at the Integra next time.   Never looked at NAD because they had lots of manufacturing issues in the past (cold solder joints), but maybe that has been resolved.
