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.
Jack,Sorry - quite busy lately.
I matched output levels using the DB meter and test CDs. I used Outlaw PCAs and my RF5s,RC7 and RS7 Klipsch Reference speakers, Denon 2900 and then a modified Philips 963A for playing the music and videos. I listened to music mainly using 7.1 direct and did a few selections using the CD inputs with DSP for testing some of the options on both Arcam and Outlaw.
Movies were done with Outlaw PSC cables. Tried DTS,NEO6,Dolby and PL IIx movie modes.
