I'm considering upgrading my current processor (Sony TA-E9000ES w/ 2.5
firmware) to an EAD Encore (with current firmware, current display,
better remote, and Rowland face). My needs for a processor are only DD
and DTS decoding. My HT and 2 channel PCM is an "intergrated" system
with separate transports and preamps using the same amps (Spectron's).
I have no interest in DVD-A or SACD as my PCM side is better than anything I have yet heard in those formats (and multi-channel in my humble opinion belongs only to HT). This brings me to "why upgrade"? While the Sony sounds good with current firmware it is still a mid-fi
processor and with all the good deals on used equipment currently, it
seems an appropriate time for an upgrade. I've been considering a Theta Cassanova, or the Classe SSP30, or even possible the Proceed AVP. But the EAD keeps coming up as probably the perfect match for my needs.
There are also some good deals on Ovations (+ or not) and the "digital flywheel" jitter reduction device intrigues me (but may be out of my budget) which is $1500 - $2000. Any experience with this processor would be greatly appreciated. I don't have much use for DSP processing either (which the Sony does well) but it is still a little gimmicky. So for a straight ahead well designed and well built processor - the EAD sounds right - I'm just wondering if it is?
