2 channel pre to multi channel amp connection
?? If you want to feed both signals (from pre and from HT) to the same power amp inputs, a Y-cable is a poor choice since the low output impedance of each source will shunt the other.If, on the other hand, you simply want to connect 2 channels fro... 
anyone have experience with Anthem arc?
Yes. Unless, of course, your setup has perfect acoustics.Kal

First, I was speaking only about audio quality. Video quality is identical in the two players.Second, HDMI will be superior for a digital display, such as with modern flat panel devices. Kal

Multi channel preamps for Movies
It ain't mine as it is on loan from Parasound. I am thinking about buying it just to have an analog preamp around for situations when my all-digital Meridian won't do. If the P7 had a 5.1/7.1 balanced analog INPUT, I would already have done it.Kal

Oppo 83 SE wich would be best for my system vs 83
With any decent quality system, the answer is simple. If you are using the analog outputs of the player (as the OP seems to be), get the SE for the improved DACs. If you are using the HDMI or coax/optical output, save your money and get the 83.Kal 
What albums available on both SACD and XRCD?
Many of the RCA Living Stereos are available on SACD, XRCD and, of course, LP. Knock yourself out.Kal 
Integra DTC 9.8 and DHC 9.9 Processors Firmware
I have v1.8 on my 9.8 and I am fairly certain that it was the last. OTOH, you could search the thread for "last firmware" or just ask.Kal 
Can SACD's be played in ony 2 channel format
IMHO, such blanket statements of absoluteness are rarely correct.Opus3 SACDs are fine. Just wish the music was more to my taste.Kal

The above posters are generally correct. There are exceptions, though.Kal 
Integra DTC 9.8 and DHC 9.9 Processors Firmware
They have stopped releasing new firmware for these and did so when they were discontinued and superceded by newer models.There are dedicated threads for each model on www.avsforum.com and that is the best place to find the information you are aski...
