As a owner of the Integra Research RDC-7.1 and RDA-7. I find it difficult to buy something so UGLY. I believe it is time for Onkyo to redesign there full line of Audio and Video equipment.
Integra Newest, Baddest Assest Pre-Pro Ever!

There's a lot more to the DHC 9.9 though than ISFness. This THX Ultra2 Plus certified pre has balanced and single ended 7.1 outputs, the full Audyssey Dynamic EQ ad Dynamic Volume, Sirius/XM readiness, two HDMI outputs, HQV Reaon-VX processing (and that's why it puts out as much heat as many AVRs) for scaling of digital sources to 1080p, analog sources to 1080i. Of course, it does in-process Dolby TrueHD and dts-HD MA as well. And unlike most pre-pros, the DHC-9.9 connects to Internet radio and even includes terrestrial AM/FM and HD radio tuners. It's going for $2,000 which, pinch me, is a steal!

Wow, this new pre-pro sounds like last year's pre pro for $500 more. The ISF settings are cool, but if they have the same Reon implementation (which outputs the wrong color space) then videophiles are going to once again want to bypass the video processing of the unit (and therefor the ISF feature won't matter).
