Integra DTC-9.4 and DTA-9.4 Introduction
Previously, Audioholics reviewed the Onkyo TX-SR601 and found that to be a good value for a mid-fi receiver. We also reviewed the high-end Integra RDC-7 pre-processor. Naturally, it made sense for us to review the unit that would fall somewhere in between the two and thus we requested the DTC-9.4 pre-processor. Integra was kind enough to send us the DTA-9.4 so we could mate the unit with its 7-channel Class-D "partner". Here's a quick summary of the specifications of the DTC-9.4 and DTA-9.4:
We had no prior experience with the Integra line of processor and Class-D amplifier products. The Integra Research RDC-7 processor made its way into our Reference System 2 and the Onkyo TX-SR601 proved to be able to hold its own and even take a slight edge over many other $500 receivers. Our review of the DTC-9.4 and accompanying DTA-9.4 proved that entry-level separates are still competing for attention in the audiophile community and that some of the new competing flagship receivers will most likely have a continuous fight to stay ahead of the curve.

- Integra DTC-9.4 CHAD Remote
Integra DTC-9.4 CHAD Remote
This remote control is excellent if you like LCD remotes. It is quite similar in features to the Philips Pronto TS series of remote controls (it has less tactile buttons than newer Pronto models so nearly everything must be controlled using the LCD touch screen). With the optional RF kit and docking station you can control all of your devices from adjoining rooms and without line of site. I'm getting a reputation as a remote control critic, but I have found several that I really like. The downside to LCD remotes is that you spend more time looking at the remote than you do with a remote having tactile buttons that can be "felt". Nevertheless, some people swear by LCD remotes and love the complete customization that they can deliver - and for those people, the CHAD will provide an excellent experience.
As expected, the remote comes configured with everything you need to run the DTC-9.4. All other functionality will need to be programmed from the internal database or learned from existing remotes. Because none of the CHAD's 12 Mitsubishi TV codes could operate my Diamond 55" HDTV, I got to learn both methods very well (a third method is via free CHAD Edit software downloadable from their website.) The internal database was sufficient to start me off with my Yamaha DVD player and Scientific Atlanta cable box. I was able to quickly learn a few missing commands via the "Learn" function of the CHAD. If you want to actually move icons around or design custom button screens, you'll want to download and install the CHAD Edit software. It's fairly intuitive, but like any complex application it will take some time to get used to. The CHAD comes with an RS-232 (serial) cable that you will need to connect the remote to your PC (Windows only).
- 500 device internal database

Cons:
- Very few tactile buttons
- Cumbersome PC software for reprogramming custom buttons or functions
- Several key buttons in difficult to activate corners
Options:
- BCC-5 Docking Cradle
