I have to agree with Ruined, the Integra DTC 9.8 is the best bet for a pre/pro in that price range. I did a search and right now there are no other pre/pro's from "any" company that offers a pre/pro with TrueHD and DTS-HD MA decoding in the $2k - $3k range. All the rest that have TrueHD and DTS-HD MA are (or will be) $7k on up (Denon, Simaudio, Krell etc.).
So for everything that the Integra has in it, it's a whole lotta bang for the buck! Match it up with a quality multi channel amp and you've got a winning combo. For mid line separates, right now Integra has the market cornered.
I know there are many companies that make pre/pro's in your target price range (Rotel, Cambridge, Anthem, Outlaw etc.), but none offer TrueHD and DTS-HD MA.
