Re: Denon 3803 vs. Sony STR-DA4ES

I think the 3803 sells for about $1199. Both are very nice units, but I don't think I've ever auditioned an ES model receiver before. The 3803 has greater sampling rate capabilities compared to the DA4ES and the 3803 is better for component video switching. The 3803 has a few more inputs. The DA4ES has 2 pairs of main speaker outputs which makes it great for a bi-wiring a good pair of speakers. Like I said, both are very good receivers, so it's pretty hard deciding which one to get. Another thing to consider is customer service - personally, I think that Sony's customer support can be a lot better than it is now, but I've noticed that they are improving. Well good luck in making the right decision,
