  Its a ~100wpc 5.1 Dolby Digital receiver being auctioned off at www.egghead.com. With shipping it ought to cost under $200.

  Its missing (consider the AG-D9320 if you want most of these):
  1. DTS
  2. S-Video and component video switching, only has composite.
  3. Nice binding posts - cheap sprung ones instead.
  4. A bizillion delay modes and effects.
  5. 24/96 dacs.

  It has, and the main reason I bought it:
  1. Full 5.1 preamp outs.

  There is no decoder/preamp/tuner with remote that I know of that won't cost at least twice as much. And I get 5 amps for free should I not want external amps for all the channels. I got really pissed off at the absurd prices for seperate decoders when many of them don't look any better built than the ones in receivers or DVD players. So, now I have one and can modify/upgrade it like I would a higher priced version of the same thing.

  Mine should arrive next week and I'll post how it sounds. Others commented at http://www.audioreview.com/reviews/Receiver/product_6534.shtml

  Teac's best receiver the 9320 has reportedly been sold at Costco for about what you were looking to pay according to comments at audioreview.

  Saw this for $399 (plus shipping, of course) on the Internet. Offers 24/96 DA converters, too . . .
