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

Jack... unless opinions have worked well in guiding you to audio satisfaction in the past, I would suggest that you wait to hear the DTC-9.8 for yourself prior to making any decision.

The opinions of those who haven't heard it are just that, opinions, and should be valued as such.

Only observation here, but the first poster to respond noted an Apogee DAC as a characteristic of the higher end Integra Pro line of processors... the Apogee happens to be a clock, not a DAC. And the DACs in that particular unit were Wolfsons.

Opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one. Some are more or less based upon fact.

My simple advice is that you should actually listen to any prospective "Apogee DAC" before you rely upon wholly unqualified advice and lay your money down, Jack.
