I am considering the system with both sound quality and the surrounding features (including DVD-Audio and most of the video modes). After some investigation, I came up with Arcam, but I am not sure which way to go:
1. ARCAM AVR300 (a new one coming) is promising a lot of features without compromising the stereo quality. In conjunction with DV89 should sound stunning. But so many features in one box may be to much even from Arcam.
2. ARCAM A90 with 7.1 processor paired with A85/3 (by the way I mentioned A85/3 instead of A90/3 since I have a good discount - do you see a big difference between A90/3 and A85/3) does not have digital input. Does it mean I need some extra DAC to listen to the DTS or DVD-Video, or DV89 can handle it.
Please let me know your opinion about 1. and 2. If you have an alternative solution (Rotel processor plus 5 channel amp or anything in the same class) please suggest.
The speakers I am running are Mission 753 floor standing plus m5ds as a rear speakers and v6c as center.
