| Squeezbox Touch USB or SPDIF? You have to listen to the two options and decide.Kal | |
| Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8? I cannot predict what will turn up at CES but it is less than a week away and the bloggers will reveal all rapidly. In general, though, the $5-10K processor do not offer more features.KalP.S.: No need for email as this is better discussed out in t... | |
| Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8? OTOH, the 80.2 does sound better than the 9.8.Kal | |
| Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8? Is that a significant difference? IMHO, the advance to MultEQ XT32 is a significant difference.Kal | |
| Squeezbox Touch USB or SPDIF? It can be "reprogrammed" for USB output but the effort may not be worth it.Kal | |
| Need a program such as pure music with SB touch? The SBT must be used with its own program: Logitech Media Server. | |
| Mahler Project on LP Suckers, indeed. Considering the provenance, the SACDs are cheaper, have more information (multichannel) and, logically, must be superior. If you are suspicious of sacd transfers of classic analog recordings (I am not), the same (and additional) c... | |
| Mahler Project on LP Probably sounds almost, but not quite, as good as the SACDs with the DSD from which the vinyl was derived. :-)Kal | |
| Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8? I am familiar with it, on paper, because I was considering getting one. Never heard one. | |
| Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8? Wish I could help but I have never heard/used the RDC-7.1. I think it is a pretty rare device.Kal | |

| Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8? Of course you are. The input stage of the Onkyo, its volume control circuitry and its output stage. I have no doubt that the 95 analog output is superb but it is constrained by the Onkyo which, in my experience, is not great. With a better prepro ... | |
| A few new questions for me 50.3 is probably good and newer than the ones I mentioned but I have no personal experience with it.Kal | |
| A few new questions for me It was built by Bryston and is a close relative of their 9B.What is your budget for the prepro? Bottom line, imho, is a used Integra 9.8 or 9.9 or Onkyo 886/886.Kal | |
| INTEGRA DHC-80.3 Surround Processor There is a bigger feature list for the "hi value for money" prepros than there is for most (but not all) of the high-end prepros but the fundamental sound quality is not as good. OTOH, one does pay a big price for this in $$ and in loss of feature... |
