However, I have come to the conclusion that this is as close to perfect as I am going to find for my needs right now. I am using all 4 HDMI inputs (PS3, Oppo 980H, Directv HR20, and a Sony Vaio computer). The Denon has worked flawlessly with SACD, DVD-A, and lossless audio sources from my BluRay movies. For sound quality, it is important to get the speakers setup properly. Denon's auto setup with the included mic makes this a very simple setup. I have heard that it helps to take measurements from all over the room, so I setup 5 listening locations. The sound quality is fantastic. I do have an spl meter, but I have not had it out to fine tune the setup just yet. It already sounds fantastic. The Oppo has the ability to send out a DSD multi-channel signal for its SACD and these sound fantastic on the Denon. I am not really using the video upscaler very much since most of the signals I am inputting are already HD. In other words, the Denon mainly sends out the signals untouched, so it is hard to complain. The ability to update the firmware over the internet connection is what I believe sets this receiver apart from the competition. For me, this was the deciding factor. With all of the new tech in these receivers, I do not want to have to carry the thing into a service location every time it needs an update. I should mention that I played some music coming from my computer using the network interface and it worked okay. It did take a few seconds to retrieve license information for Yahoo Music DRM files, but I bet they improve on that in the future. The downsides are small, but should be mentioned. The remote is okay for setting up the system, but it is going into a drawer with my other remotes now that I have my Harmony 880 universal programmed for all of the general functions that I need. Also, the GUI takes some getting used to. I like the ability to rename the inputs and choose what video inputs go with the audio inputs. However, it was not something that I picked up and setup in a few minutes. It is better than my old Denon AVR-3300, so at least they are going in the right direction! 36 of 38 people found the following review helpful. Top performance for reasonable price. By Desert Rat Once set up the performance and operation is all that could be desired with two exceptions. 1-When using this with a DVD player and D-link to send SACD signals in DSD format to the AVR, the unit takes a while to recognize which signal format is being sent. It can take a couple of attempts to play the SACD before the two units talk to each other. Sometimes while this is going on the DSD signal is routed to analog resulting in loud while noise that could damage speakers. 2- There must be a less intuitive user friendly remote control unit somewhere but I don't know where it might be. I does perform all the functions it should --- once you figure it out. The user guide is of some help. Now the good stuff. There are an amazing number of devices that can connecr to this besides the usual phone and disk players (XM radio, iPod, USB drives (MPO3, WAV, WMF files), internet radio. There are even recorder outputs although the tape monitor of old is no more. The most impressive feature for me is the auto setup and room EQ. I've spent a lot of time and effort doing this manually with other products. I was dubious about the feature but the Denon gets better results than I ever could even with SPL meters, RTA etc. I've never heard a sub-woofer integrated with the main speakers this well. The software must get the distance and delays and phase difference just right as the imaging turned out better that I would have thought my motley collection of speaker capable. 28 of 29 people found the following review helpful. Great, but not for the technically challenged By W. Stohler I bought this receiver
