Default SONY STR DG920 vs. YAMAHA RX V663

What say you??

Back in the market for a receiver & these are what I have narrowed it down to. Slight bias towards Yamaha because of the DAC's. Also if anyone knows of promos, codes, or sales, please drop a line.
Cheapest I have seen the Sony 920 is $393.95 @ TechDepot - retail is $599
