What 5ch or 7ch do you recommend with the denon 3803? Thinking of this as the base for future upgrades, so I don't want to aim too low. Life is short and $1,000 bills for entertainment electronics only come around once in a while. I'd like to get it right the first time.
How about a list of features to recommend? Digital Hires? How far away is it?
Follow Ups:
WH,Depends where you want to go. Multichannel hirez music (5.1), full tilt HT (6.1/7.1), optimum stereo (dedicated 2-ch amp/pass through pre), a combination? What are you willing to compromise?
Depends how fast you want to get there. If today, grab Pioneer's 47Ai universal and its 49TXi receiver. You're as good as it gets wrt DVD-Audio but SACD is down(side)-converted to 88.2/32 PCM in the 49TXi. If you have a couple years, lighten up on the source and processing dollars and put them into components with legs - amps, speakers, cables, furniture and software.
Depends on the resources you intend to apply to the journey. There is not currently a SOTA solution to the HT/Hirez problem at ANY price. There will be solutions (both high-end and mid-fi) within the next year.
You got to know what you want to get what you need. Good luck.
