Best SSP - Upgrade from Integra DTC 9.8

Elvick, I tell ya what though, I've had some expensive pre/pro's that I feel are better than the ones you mentioned. And I still think that what that Audyssey MultEQ offers in something like this Integra is a good "leveling ground" with otherwise better sounding sounding AV pre'pro's! Basically, I'm not convinced that a Krell 7.1 would sound better in most acoustically problematic rooms than an Audyssey Calibrated Integra, to be honest!
I'd like to see more of the better pre's with the Audyssey MulTEQ integrated.
I don't like the idea of their stand-alone processor (keep in mind, I've done enough systems to know what the value of such DSP room correction offers, first hand! - it's huge!), which makes you have to go through a few analog to digital to analog conversions ultimately. That's my beef anyway.
Yeah, I'd like to see companies like Krell, Mcintosh, Theta, and other US companies license the Audyssey MultEQ into their pre/pro's!
But that's just my dream...I like their products in receivers basically - it does wonders

Many other prepros are picking up Audyssey, from Onkyo and Denon, Marantz, and NAD to Sim Audio and Wisdom. This is an incomplete listing: http://www.audyssey.com/products/index.html

OTOH, some, like Anthem, incorporate very competent room EQs of their own.

"Audyssey Dynamic EQ as well as Audyssey MultEQ"

Sure. They are quite different.
