I Guess as a poster mentioned earlier, when using the NAD C372, I will need a unit with a 24 bit DAC. I checked out the Integra website. I will have to compare the specs and pricing VS the Onkyo piece. They had three reviews for the 8.5, but none from Audioholics. According to an old reveiew, the price was $700.00 US. Do you mind if I ask what you paid for yours?
