I have the option of buying one of these pretty much at the same price. Anyone have an opinion on which would be better for DD/DTS? Source will be a Sony DVP-9000ES.
Follow Ups:
My pick would be the Sony.Not as good sounding as a good Citation 5.0 (especially with analogue sources as the Sony digitises all inputs) but easier to use, better built, better input options and not as quirky.
The Perfect Vision chose the Sony as the best pre/pro at the $2000 mark.
Buy a used Sony and go through the software upgrades.
2.01 is the important one.
But the Sony can't be upgraded to true 6.1 operation, if that is of importance to you.

http://pub7.ezboard.cofaussiedvdandhtforumsonytae9000esinformationforumHere you will find all you need to know about the TA-E9000ES processor.
I have owned it for several years and it performs quite well considering how little it costs. Make sure you get 2.01 firmware (2.5 is for Japan). I can't speak for the Citation but the Sony is hard to beat in the DD/DTS HT performance range at it's price point. Several
used units at Agon in the $750-800 range presently. Really, you get about 90% of the really expensive processors in the HT area of performance. Now, 2 channel, that is a different matter.
