Both 9.2 channel receivers are THX Ultra 2 Plus certified.

The DTR-80.3 and DTR-70.3 receivers from Integra are fairly similar in their feature sets. The 80.3 pumps out 145 watts per channel while the 70.3 only offers 135, and each uses a different power supply but aside from that they're not terribly different.

You'll find Audyssey DSX, Dolby ProLogic IIz and DTS Neo: X technology that upscales your sound up to 11.1 channels. They also give you the ability to stream from online sources like Spotify, Pandora, Sirius and more. You can also play a variety of files stored on your home computer.

Integra's new receivers are no slouch in the video department either. They pack HQV-Vida video processors and Marvell Qdeo 4K upscaling. You'll get enhancement of not only traditional content, but cleaned up streaming content as well.

Both receivers will be available soon with the 70.3 coming in at $2,000 while the 80.3 runs $2,800.

The company’s new line brings features from last year’s high end components to all of this year’s receivers.

The newest line of receivers from Integra introduce the Marvell Qdeo 4K video processor, which allows content to be scaled to 3840 x 2160. You might not need it yet, but it could definitely come in handy in the future. They're all 3D capable and boast networking capabilities and DLNA compliance.

The high end DTR-50.3 receiver also adds a second video processor – the IDT HQV Vida VHD1900. This Vida processor will handle upscaling of SD sources to HD, enhancing the detail of already high definition sources and cleaning up artifacts on compressed video.

Integra also offers a few special features on the top three models in the line, starting with the 30.3 at $800. These include front panel HDMI inputs, Audyssey audio features, and THX-Select2 Plus certification.

These high end players are made specifically for custom installers.

Tomorrow is the first day of the Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association Expo, better known as CEDIA. It's like the CES of high-end gear, full of all that expensive stuff that you won't find at Best Buy.

Integra kicked things off with the announcement of two new Blu-ray players designed to complement the company's lineup of AV receivers and preamplifiers. Both the DBS-30.2 and 50.2 offer access to sources like Netflix and Blockbuster On Demand, but only the latter comes packed with video enhancing features.

The DBS-50.2 utilizes the Marvell Qdeo HD Video processor, which gives a better picture and much improved upscaling of standard definition content. The 50.2 also sports a more rigid construction and 7.1 channel analog audio output.

Both players are available now through authorized installers. The DBS-50.2 will run you $700, while the 30.2 comes in at $500.

Network capabilities are a huge focus for consumer electronics as of late, and Integra has certainly taken notice of this. With four new networking receivers and a pair of network capable preamps, Integra hopes to cover a large range of consumer needs.

Dubbed the DTR-40.1, DTR-50.1, DTR-70.1 and DTR-80.1, Integra’s new receivers feature HD audio decoding, Dolby ProLogic IIz, and a variety of Audyssey functions. Streaming audio is possible from a networked PC or storage drive, and also from providers such as Rhapsody, Sirius Internet Radio, and Pandora.

The lower end DTR-40.1 and DTR-50.1 – at $1,000 and $1,400 respectively – feature 7.1 channel audio output and Faroudja DCDi Cinema processing. The DTR-40.1 is capable of 100 watts over seven channels with the DTR-50.1 ramping it up to 135W.

On the high end, the DTR-70.1 and DTR-80.1, which run $2,000 and $2,800, take the output up a notch with 9.2 channel capability. Both are THX Ultra2 Plus certified and offer HQV Reon-VX video processing as well as the increasingly popular Dolby Volume. The DTR-70.1, which offers 7 HDMI inputs and 2 HDMI outputs, puts out 140 watts over nine channels, while the DTR-80.1 ups the inputs by one and has an output of 9x145W.

The receivers are shipping now, and a similar line of preamplifiers is expected this October.

Tags: CEDIA, Integra, Onkyo (all tags)

Premium home theater brand Integra has officially announced its first high-def disc player, the DHS-8.8 HD DVD player.

As widely expected, the new Integra player looks to be much the same as the previously-announced Onkyo DV-HD805 (Integra is Onkyo's premium line of audio video components), with a few tweaks designed to meet the needs of higher-end custom home theaters.

Shared specs include native 1080p/24 frames-per-second video playback, support of all high-resolution audio formats via HDMI version 1.3a, a built-in HQV Reon VX video processor, and a rear-panel Ethernet port allowing for web-enabled network connectivity.

The DHS-8.8 will also include a bi-directional RS-232 port for integration with home automation and control systems, plus a series of high-end DACs allowing for custom analog audio/video connections with other home theater devices.

Integra says its new unit will be available in the fourth quarter of 2007 at a suggested retail price of $1099.
