Re: processing power
That's pretty much what I figured, also. I couldn't remember which DSP's they used, but I did remember that they were quite powerful. Then again, so is the 56009.

Although Citation screwed up when they dropped the 7.1 and discontinued the 7.0, I think that you are correct; they did try to rectify their error by offering a subsidized trade-in. Their target market requires it, I think. On the other hand, that also supports my earlier premise that user opinions are more useful than dealer opinions. They are usually a tad less partial :)

I want just one good ambiance extraction mode for music and one good enhanced surround mode for movies. That is only for the older stuff that I've collected that is not and probably will not be discretely encoded. I have a Lexicon DC-1/THX, and it has a bizillion ambiance synthesis modes (very good ones, even) that I don't use. I only use the ambiance extraction mode (Music Surround) and the movie mode (Logic 7). Since I don't use them, I don't think that I will miss them, even though they are fun to play with until the novelty wears off.

By the Philips/Sony DSD you refer to, do you mean SACD? Or are you talking about something completely different?
