new processor decision....help me decide

Looking to get a new processor for my hometheater... hometheater 90% to music 10%.

i am going to get the new oppo 103 for source.
i figure i will let the oppo decode all, i will run an hdmi directly to the projector for video and i haven't decided on the connection to the processor...either the other hdmi or rca... but i do want the room correction to be used....

choices are:

1. ingrera dhc-80.3. $2600. 9.2. audyssey multieq. xt32.

2. emotiva xmc-1. $1500. 7.2. TACT dynamic room correction

3. marantz av 7701. $1700. 7.2. audyssey multieq xt

4. anthem d2 w/ arc. $2000. 7.1. arc

since i will be using the procceor on the oppo i will only need these processors to be used as their room correction and sound abilities.

my amp is an anthem p5.... and so far I'm not that big of a fan of 7.1 so i dunno if that makes a difference to me.

tell me what you think.

Since you are most interested in room correction (sound
differences, via HDMI, are tiny by comparison), the Integra
would seem to be the best bet, especially as you can up grade
to AudysseyPro if you wish. The Anthem comes next. The
Marantz lacks XT32 and the Emotiva, afaik, does not yet exist.

You can decode twice if, in between, you re-encode. This is rare in multichannel but is possible.
