Hey G - Did you get one? 
Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8?
An issue with the Audyssey is that it won't recognize my sub unless it is directly attached to the Integra. Since it is hooked up to my 2-channel audio preamp, which is in turn connected to the Integra, its not being recognized. I suppose I could ...

thanks - that's exactly what I thought... 
Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8?
Kal-An Integra dealer told me I could run analog outs from my Oppo into my 9.8 and still not lose Audyssey. I tried to do this yesterday but couldn't get the Integra into multichannel mode to accept the Oppo signal. Integra was not much help eithe... 
need a new pre/pro for less than 5K Any advice?
Best of what you mentioned will be the Integra 80.3 - best DACs and processing, as well as longest warranty. Also has the best Audyssey room calibration software, by far over the others. 
Samsung PN-64D7000 vs. Panasonic TH-65VX100U
FWIW, Pioneer + Sharp + 2.5 years = Pro Elite 60" and 70". Updated Kuro-type technology yields blacks darker than plasma with a picture that puts all plasma and LCDs to shame. Quite literally. Once you've seen one properly set-up, anything else wi... 
Any Integrated Amps w/Phono & 100-200 Watts Power?
I think VAC just came out with a 160w integrated.

Thanks. Enjoy CES - I'll be curious to see what's on the horizon. 
Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8?
Thanks Kal - OK, well that makes 2 significant differences!! BTW, I sent you an e-mail.... :-) Whether it makes sense to look at $5-10K (after CES, of course) given my limited use for just AUDIO of movies only? Seems like paying for features (like... 
Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8?
NewsFlash - Just discovered the DACs in the 9.8 are only 192/24, while those in the 80.2 and 80.3 are 192/32. Unfortunately, that is enough of a difference for me to reconsider upgrading now, rather than later. So much for my best laid plans....

Since you've already got a McCormack piece, I would pick up the MAP-1, used, here to try. You also might try giving Steve a call - he's always been very proactive in helping owners of his gear. 
Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8?
Bacardi-Thanks for your comments. It sounds like you are making good use of the Oppo as well! I have been very impressed with its capabilities, especially at its price-point.I'm using digital sound from the Oppo into the Integra and it obviously s... 
Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8?
Mig007 - there was some muffled muttering early on, but that soon subsided. :-) I appreciate your comment and that was my original thinking as well. However, the Integra is pretty well holding its own, with the addition of the Oppo's video. The pr... 
Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8?
Thanks Kal. I've already got the BDP-95 installed. I've also already got 2-channel more than covered. The only issue is the Audyssey processing difference between the Integra 9.8(MultEQ XT) and the 80.2 or 80.3(MultEQ XT32). I have never directly ...

Oppo installed using both HDMI outs - looks and sounds great! Thanks again :-)
