| Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8? Wait a minute,Ridom. You get only analog from the analog output, not PCM and not DSD. If you want DSD, you use a prepro (like the 80.2/3) that can accept DSD. It can then do Audyssey/Bass Management although it will convert the DSD to PCM for that... | |
| 2 channel priority in HT Processor...who's is best Add the Bryston SP3 to the list. | |
| Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8? I thought so. I handed my 9.8 on to a needy friend.Kal | |
| Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8? I think that obsessing over switches is silly.The MX121 was not demonstrated but was on display. It will have MultEQ XT32.Kal | |
| Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8? Nope. I am suggesting you take advantage of the superior analog audio of the newer models in lieu of your more complex configuration. | |
| Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8? 1. You cannot "just carry over the sub settings manually when I re-connect the sub to my 2-channel preamp" because the new configuration will affect the overall transfer function due to whatever filters are in place in the the latter.2. Da capo: G... | |
| Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8? I am not sure that would work. What you might consider is a switch that would connect it to the 2-channel preamp for stereo and the Integra for MCH.Kal | |
| Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8? Fplanner2010-Your dealer is misinformed. None of the Integras will digitize the MCH analog inputs and, therefore, none will be able to apply Audyssey to that input. Besides, you would loose any of the advantages of the Oppo analog output by redigi... | |
| Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8? Yes. I prefer to use HDMI. The difference between all analog (via the 80.2) and via HDMI are small. OTOH, the ability to use the 80.2's DSP (including roomEQ) makes for a substantive advantage over the all-analog path. Kal | |
| EQ presets for stereo listening... You need to tell us what equipment you are referring to. AFAIK, there is always an option for no EQ.Kal | |
| Mahler Project on LP You are entitled to be pleased with your purchase but I cannot entertain any agreement. First, additional "mastering" for vinyl can include both limiting dynamic range and sweetening, neither of which are consistent with accuracy. Second, there is... | |
| Marantz AV8003 vs 7005 processors sound quality I cannot help much. The Cary has wonderful analog bypass but it doesn't compete in most other aspects. The Marantz/Integra units are excellent in many ways but you might find the analog bypass unacceptable. I never use it and not because I find it... | |
| Pre-outs on a reciever. You can although you would face balancing issues since you cannot adjust the preamp outputs separate from the speaker outputs.Kal | |
| Squeezebox Touch DAC Not possible. | |
| Marantz AV8003 vs 7005 processors sound quality If you have no intention to ever using EQ or Audyssey (a philosophy that I contend is foolishly archaic, especially for multichannel), I would advise you to consider using a player with outstanding DAC/output stages (e.g., Oppo 95) and a good all-... |
