The 1066 and 1068 use Crystal Semiconductor to handle the DSP processing, while the 1098 uses Cirrus Logic to decode the material. At first it just seemed obvious that the Cirrus Logic is a better chip since its the one used by Rotel in its reference player, but then I came across the fact that more expensive pre/pros such as the Krell line use the same Crystal Semi chip as in the 1066/1068. Can someone please clarify why this doesn't add up.
