Please share some more details about how you conducted your review. Exactly how did you do the level matching? You said you used a RS meter, but did you use the same speakers, souce, cables, etc. and then switch back and forth?

Also, you described the sound of both for HT and two channel audio. How did you listen to each? Via Analog and digital or digital for movies and analog for music, etc.

More details please.

Thanks for the review.
