Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8?
That's interesting. I just got rid of a Cary 11 (not an 11A) which to me was wonderful in 2 channel. I too am wondering how it would compare. It looks like the Onkyo PR SC5509 (Integra DHC 80.3 clone) is going to be released in the US, so I may ju...

How is the 2 channel from the 80.2 compared to your dedicated 2 channel setup (assuming you have tried it of course)? 
INTEGRA DHC-80.3 Surround Processor
Thanks Kal 
INTEGRA DHC-80.3 Surround Processor
Kal,Which high end pre pros do you prefer? I recall Classe and Meridian, but which models? 
INTEGRA DHC-80.3 Surround Processor
I'm in the same boat. Kal's music in the round article says the Marantz AV7005 and the Integra DHC 80.2 were both similarly good sounding with both analog and digital sources. Differences seem to be that the integra 80.3 has audyssey xt32 and a di... 
HT Proc. with 5.1 analog in, under 1k, good sound?
Goat,I just listened to my analog tuner in dpl II with the cinema 6.I think you'll like it.Mark

Goat,You can work around the not remembering which connection part if you use a universal remote as it will cycle through the inputs in a fixed order. You can have the universal remote hit the dvd input button twice to get to the second input of t...

Goat,I have been able to use dpl II on my analog tuner input, but let me double check tonight.It does not remember which type of connection - I remember that it is in a specific order for each input though, so if you use the "first" type of connec...

Goat,Check out the Cary Cinema 6 that listed today for 1,000. It has dpl II and actually sounds better than the audio refinement piece. I replaced my audio refinement with the cary cinema 6. (I also have a cary cinema 11 - nice stuff)Mark

I don't know how much the audio refinement pre 2 dsp is currently going for, but it will do what you are looking for. The newer versions have dpl II as well.Mark 
unobtrusive speaker system?
orb audio is very similar to the gallo. Might be worth a listen.

Cary DVD 8? Yes/No
There were no internal pictures of the oppo 970 at oppodigital.com. What really gives the unit away as being an oppo is the remote. It is unlike any cary remote. It is exactly like my oppo 970 remote and my friend's oppo remote (971)Mark 
Cary DVD 8? Yes/No
The dvd 8 definately has an improved power supply and detachable IEC power cord and probably other tweaks as well. When I look at the front of the dvd 8, it looks like a oppo 970 - notice the placement of the power button and the three buttons to ... 
Cary DVD 8? Yes/No
I was intrigued by the DVD 8 until I saw a picture of one on ebay - I immediately noticed the Oppo remote. It appears to be a tweaked Oppo 970. The Oppo sells for $149 and you can get it modded if you want the improved power supply, etc. I have al...
