Last year, I had the pleasure of reviewing the Integra DTC-9.8 surround processor (HT, May 2008). The DTC-9.8 was one of the first processors to offer full decoding abilities for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, and it included state-of-the-art video processing. But one of the DTC-9.8’s best features was its price. Seldom do we see a feature-rich processor that’s south of the $2,000 price point.

Now I have the opportunity to review its follow-up. The DHC-9.9 looks nearly identical to the DTC-9.8. However, Integra once again delivers bleeding-edge features and adds some pretty cool features for those who want to tweak the last ounce of performance from their system.

Now that's what I'm talking about, my kind of receiver. I especially liked this from the review "Like the DTC-9.8 before it, the DHC-9.9 gives you unbelievable audio and video performance at a price point you don’t normally see with higher-end processors. Its video processing is second to none. And with full support of every modern audio format and the latest in digital signal processing technologies, it delivers an incredibly rich feature package that actually offers perceivable improvements in performance rather than gimmicky sound modes. If you’re in the market for a feature-rich surround processor, this is one that demands to be experienced no matter what your budget may be."
