FWIW ...I just purchased the HTR-5760 online. I basically use it as a pro/preamp since I have external amplifiers for all 7 channels.
DPIIx on a 7.1 setup is simply awesome.
My recommendation to most of you is ... buy the lease expensive receiver in a line (HTR-57xx series for instance) that does what you want it to do (in my case DPIIx and memorized settings for inputs) ... and then pair it with external amps.
The external amps will remain with you forever. The cheap receivers get ebayed every other year.
I am now ebaying my Denon 2802.
For the life of me I cannot imagine anyone buying a 5800 series Denon receiver for $$$ and get locked into it for some time to come. Not wise if you ask me.
