Seriously looking at a Sony DG720...

[DutchBoy]

...instead of an Onkyo 605. I can get one at the store right across the street from me, and save about 100 bucks to boot.

Yes, I know Sony audio isn't as good as a lot of others, but from what I'm reading most people that have them are pretty happy with them.

I'm not trying to cut cost just for the sake of doing so, but I figure 100 saved here, is 100 I have towards the end of the year to do my speaker upgrades, and maybe keep my wife from having a stroke at the same time.

It pretty much does most of what the 605 does it looks like, short of having onboard HD processing, but it will do PCM no problems, and since I use a PS3...

Upconverting/upscaling not an issue either (don't need it - just pass the signal and I'm fine).

Mainly what I'm looking for is a decent, well-priced receiver that will allow me to listen to all my BDs in their glory. Everything else is just gravy. And it will pass 1080p signals, and whatever the signal coming in is via HDMI...

Thoughts? Any reason to go with a 605 over this due to the reasons I've listed above? Anyone here have one?
