They are all great options. I have the 83/621/861 system now and the Classe SSP just arrived. ADA makes great stuff, too. To choose, you should consider other things such as additional sources, DSP capabilities, roomEQ, etc.

thanks Kal- does it matter if I go with an older pre/pro and do the HD codecs from the oppo OR is it better to get a pre that can do the Hd proc.- Not sure which way is better thanks

Either way but only if the limited bass management in the Oppo is adequate for your setup (it is not for mine) and you can live without room EQ (I cannot). Your move.

Hi Kal, whats sort of timescale are we looking at before we hear your comments on the SSP vs 861? Given the cost of upgrading my 861 to 861v6 Im taking time out to review alternatives and not leaping blindly....

thx in adv
