In Reply to: key question -- your budget posted by chris e. on July 18, 2004 at 05:58:20:
Good point. I would like to keep it under $1,000. I am looking HARD at the Outlaw but it doesn't seem to decode 96khz signals? I had a few of the HDAD discs I would like to decode. I have seend a few Krells and those are appealing since they are five channel only and that is all I would ever want. Front speakers will be large (infinity intermezzo 4.1) so I am not too worried about bass management. I currently use a Panasonic RP91 in upsample mode for red book CDs so the 96khz issue is key for me.Thanks!

Denon 3805.... One of the best new ones and can be ahd for about 1100 bucks (less than 1K if you buy B-Stock).It decodes HDCD, HDAD, Has great MC Analog inputs and offers supperb sound. It has dual Burr-Browns per channel. I really can't fault this receiver in any way.. If you pair it up with a high-end 2900 or 5900 universal players, you can use their Dlink connector whcih is trully awesome and will shortly also transmit SACD. It will handle 192/24 DVD-A signals.
I think in the 1K range, nothing can touch it right now.
Go take a listen to it.

How does it compare to the 3803? It is currently available for around $500 and has the same Dacs in the front channels as the 3805.I think it is either that or the Outlaw but I am still poking around. I need to pull the trigger in a couple of weeks.
Thanks!
i never heard the 3803, so can't compare the performance. I do know that the 3805 has the Dlink connector allowing you to connect the 5900 directly to it using only 1 cable to output CD, HDCD, DVD, DVD-A, and shortly SACD!.Been very happy with the 3805 so far.... Far and away better than the Sony ES receivers i have owned (and now sold!) in the past.
