Just as the title says.. Any one know the differences between the two?
I know the onkyo has a front cover which makes it aesthetically different.
Differences in inputs and outpust?
What about differences in features?
MSRP price and Online Price?
Warranty and Customer Service?
thanks for any help.
The only thing i have found as negatives as the Upconversion to 1080p not having fine tune controls and the Audessy Pro compatability.

I love how music can brighten up a bad day. -
If I recall right, the 9.8 compares more directly with the Onkyo 905 (with 2 HDMI outs)Testing

He meant the Onkyo PR-SC885P http://www.onkyopro.com/model.cfm?m=PR-SC885P&p=i&class=Preamplifier and they are pretty much identical except for simple cosmetic details.The first rule of Fight Club is you don't talk about Fight Club

Does anyone else find it odd that a flagship model like the PR-SC885P would show 17 different logos or trademarks for all of its abilities?
I understand that some use this as a statement piece, but the more I move higher in gear, the less I have to show everyone a label to prove the pedigree.

The 885 and 9.8 are identical, except the Onkyo has a "pure Direct" mode, and the Integra does not. The Onkyo also ships with the rack mount kit included, it's an option on the Integra.
On my PR-SC885P, when you go to the firmware page it even says "Integra" at the top. And the torroidial tranformer inside says "Custom made for Integra" others have reported this being covered with an Onkyo sticker.
Integra is not available online, and the dealers in my state want full retail $1600, you may do better where you are, but demand is high. The Onkyo list is $1800, cheapest I found was $1300 at Troxell. -
The only thing i have found as negatives as the Upconversion to 1080p not having fine tune controls and the Audessy Pro compatability.
BTW, Integra/Onkyo calim the controls will be added in a firmware update soon. Both units are Audessy Pro compatable, they just need a pro/software kit developed by Audessy, supposedly available in a couple of weeks...if you are an installer. -
Thanks WilliamM2 for pointing me in the direction of Troxell they are definately the cheapest i have seen as well..
And for 1300 nothing comes close to the feature set...
Did you order it thru their website or did you order over the phone?Click here To see My system
