integra dhc-9.9 or onkyo pr-sc866

looking at the specs, these 2 pre-amps seem quite similar but the integra is about 50% more than the onkyo. there is not much written about the onkyo? Does anyone know about it? I plan to use it with a 5.1 magnepan 1.6r surround system and either odyssey stratos htc-3 + khargo amp, a parasound 5250 or at-1805?

They are the same and so is the pricing. Get which ever you get for a better deal.

The Integra is the Onkyo flagship brand - sort of their Lexus. Tech support for both comes out of the same place. Don't know it for a fact but they probably come off the same assembly line. I suspect that resale on the Integra would be easier.

No one has studied all this as closely as Kal - follow his lead and be happy - I don't think you can buy anything better for anywhere near the money.

FWIW, IMHO the 9.9 is a definite upgrade over the 9.8
