RE: Do you have your player decode the DTS HD MA? Or do you send the bitstream to the Integra for decoding? NT

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

The BD-30 does not have any internal decoders, and with the 9.8 one does not need them. I bitstream from the BD-30 to the 9.8. The only source connections to the 9.8 are HDMI. This is where the piece shines. The analog inputs are to be avoided (at least in my system). I confirmed this with my vinyl setup (LP12 to Linto to 9.8).

BTW, my 555ES and Denon 2900 are now retired (may be used in a second system in the future). Based on Kal's review and other postings at AVR, I am now using the Oppo 980 for SACD, DVD-A, DVD, and CD. Like it a lot.

If you have any intention of using HDMI, the Integra is a very practical choice NT - Jazz Inmate 22:15:27 03/28/08 (0)
