Hello wondering if the integra dtr-8.9 or the yamaha rx-v3900 has better video processing? Or are these two receivers comparable?

The Integra receiver has Silicon Optix HQV processing which is generally considered to be one of the better SD to HD converters on the market. I own an Integra DTC-9.8 preaap/processor and am happy with its upconversion. The Yamaha includes Anchor Bay's VRS which is also no slouch but it comes in a couple of different versions which vary in their performance. I would read some pro reviews of each and reach your own conclusions based on the reviews and test results. Bottom line though, is that both should be very good to excellent at upconversion.

I just went from a Denon 2309ci to a Yamaha x-v571 and IMO there is a big improvement in video processing.
