I got an offer on my current AVR that I can not refuse,
My original need was for added HDMI inputs (only 2in/1out now).
was going to get the Oppo (3in/1out) HDMI switcher.
But then thought maybe this is the time to upgrade the AVR.
So I'm starting my research::
I'm thinking about the Denon 3808ci and the Onkyo 875,
(perhaps after doing my taxes I could think about: 4308ci vs 905)
The three areas I would first like to tackle are:
1: Sound quality
2: video chipset (Faroudja vs Reon)
3: DAC (older vs newer Burr Brown)
Any likes, dislikes, druthers, rants, or .....??????
