Oppo 95-Integra 80.3 connection
Dopogue, sorry, I was thinking of the Oppo BDP 83, which had an SE upgrade! Forgot that the 95 was the model with the upgraded DACs on the analog output stage. 
Oppo 95-Integra 80.3 connection
My opinion is to use HDMI and let the Integra handle. If its not the 95SE even oppo says to use the HDMI. You will be glad you did and you benefit from the integra's bass management and room correction 
Anthem AVM/20 upgrade to Integra or Marantz??
Absolutely, no question about it. I have great relationships with my local dealers and I often query them about what I'm looking for. On Saturday I borrowed an AVM50v to test it out. Jaw dropping is one word that came immediately to mind. The buil... 
Orb Speaker...Need your opinion
Good luck on all that. Not sure what others in the community might think, but that's my initial instinct. 
Anthem AVM/20 upgrade to Integra or Marantz??
I'm going to need some additional guidance. I want to say thanks to everyone who has posted a review. I think I'm going to forego the Integra and the Marantz at this point and as a different question: if I had 3k-4k and was to buy used or demo wha... 
Orb Speaker...Need your opinion
Dear dfgkali,I haven't heard/auditioned the Orb speakers. My initial question to you is simply what was the reason for getting them? Have you heard them or were they just in your price point or did you like a review you read? I'm going to make an ... 
Anthem AVM/20 upgrade to Integra or Marantz??
Audioengineer. Thanks. Yes that does indeed help. I think I'm going to take my time and look up the price line a bit. I've been happy with my anthem over the years and maybe I need to increase my budget and look for a used or demo unit of a higher... 
Anthem AVM/20 upgrade to Integra or Marantz??
Kal, bingo, thanks. That's what I was missing in the equation. So that's where, I would assume, the Carey and Anthem would be justified in both their higher price tags and perhaps better supporting circuitry and implementation? 
New Pre - Pro Sherbourne pt-7020c4
One additional item.... at this point in time, if you're talking about audio in a processor, then I personally would feel comfortable jumping in. The sherbourne appears to have good DACs and HDMI processing of the lossless codecs.I don't see anyth...

New Pre - Pro Sherbourne pt-7020c4
Yes, processors do become antiquated relatively quickly in relation to the other equipment. Amplifier technology tends to hold fairly steady as does speaker technology too. Receivers and processors tend to take the largest technology shift hit. 
Anthem AVM/20 upgrade to Integra or Marantz??
Let me ask a question about performance and DACs. If I'm looking at the specs of the preamps of the Marantz, Integra 80.3, Anthem 50v, and Carey Cinema 12, then the Integra and Carey should blow the others away because it has a Burr Brown 192/32 a... 
Suggestions for new AV Pre-Pro
To some of the previous points about comparison, I've been to many shops where they dealer dumps on another brand but doesn't and hasn't sold that brand. It's indeed getting difficult to make side by side. If you have a few dealers in your area, t... 
Went To Best Buy Yesterday...
Go to Costco and get the Panasonic Plasmas they have there. You won't ever look back.
