Yup, I know this is a very general question, but I feel inundated with the new choices available in receivers. Many receivers tout their 192khz 24bit dacs, but the real question is who's are the best?
For example the Integra RDC-7 has 192/24 and so does the DTR 9.1, however the RDC-7 is supposed to be much better. So this makes me wonder how the 192/24 dacs in some of the mid level receivers fare against some of the higher end stuff. Additionally, are 192/24 dacs the way to go, or is it possible that some 96/24 dacs in comparable receivers sound better?
I'm mostly intersted in flagship and the next level below flagship receivers.
With this recent changing of the guard, I'm not sure if it's better to buy an older model flagship or a newer mid level receiver.
