incorporate 2 channel amp into multichannel system
That's one way. The simpler is to connect the L/R outputs of the SSP to the Creek, set the latter at a mid-level of the VC rotation and mark it so you can repeat that setting accurately. Then you run the SSP's setup/calibration for all channels vi... 
room analysis software
These are the low/reasonably priced options, imho:RoomEQ Wizard (must add mic and preamp)R&D (must add mic and preamp)XTZ (complete hardware/software package)Omnimic(complete hardware/software package)Kal 
Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8?
I am here.It is impossible for me to know how the 80.2/3 would sound compared to anyone's analog 2 channel setup, even my own (since it is in a different house). The Carys have all had excellent analog sound but, imho, fail as adequate digital MCH... 
incorporate 2 channel amp into multichannel system
Gentlemen:What you have described is the procedure for emulating a HT Bypass when that function is not provided. It is an input on the 2 channel preamp with an accurately fixed gain into which one feeds the L/R line level outputs from the HT or MC... 
McCormack DNA-1 runs hot
100 degrees is only warm, not hot. Normal in my experience with my Rev. A DNA-1.Kal 
Network VS.....
What are "networked cables?"

Does the Creek have an HT Bypass function? If so, that is what will do this for you.Kal 
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...
