Thanks for your tip. I think the Toshiba 5109 is mid priced (one dealer quoted $545). It also offers HDCD decoding. Probably it is not that great a d/a converter but it seemed worth a try. I was looking at reviews of the Denon 3300 and found that some were unhappy because it had no digital outputs and because the speaker terminals were cheap. I think the compromises favor it at the price level. I'm not sure of the reletive problem of having no digital outputs (Denon) or not switching component video (Pioneer). I keep getting steered to higher costs in the receiver area to get all the features, but the next step up is much higher.
