The integrated was just announced two weeks ago. They had a working prototype.
The guy who gave the presentation reckons the integrated is in some ways better as it maintains a full digital signal from preamp module to the power modules. It is Classe's own Class D design with PFC and some interesting improvements in the zero switching that reduces the noise traditionally associated with Class D.
We were also shown the new HDMI 2.0/HDCP2.2 boards with the upgrade for Atmos/DTSX which is coming soon. It will do 5.1.2 max
I think the current model already passes through 4k from say an Oppo.
Classe has never been a fan of AutoEQ. They reckon you can use even a simple app like Audio Tools on a smartphone and run the manual EQ to get better results.
