Why no love for Integra's?


The new Integra DTC-9.8 looks very good on paper. However, you rarely see the Integra brand mentioned on the various forums.

Any of you have experience with this line. I'm considering selling my Arcam AVP-700 and going with this pre, primarily because of the Room EQ that might help in my set-up. However, my Arcam is also very good with two channel audio and I'm worried the Integra might not be so good.

Thoughts?

Thanks

Much of the Integra stuff is only marginally better than the standard Onkyo gear, which sounds okay.

Now Integra does have some good pieces, the BAT designed amp and the higher end pre/pro with Apogee DACs.

Now if this is the unit I am thinking of it sells for $1600.00 and offers a built in video processor as well.

It seems to me that this is way too much technology for too low a price. Time and auditioning well tell.
