DENON AVP-A1HDCI: new king in a house

[zepherman]

Well I finally got my Denon pre/pro and I LOVE it!!!! To say this thing is advanced is an understatement! Just about everything that one could want/need is included. And the sound quality on this thing has exceeded my expectations. TrueHD and DTS-HD MA sound phenomenal! I am hearing a quality in movie soundtracks now that I had never experienced in my setup before. The sound is very dynamic, highly detailed, and never harsh. It delivered the sonic goods just as I had hoped that it would.

The sound quality on 2 channel music, like movie soundtracks, is very impressive. 2 Channel sound easily matches that of my audiophile grade Sunfire TGIII. So far everything about this pre/pro has impressed me. The only things I have yet to try is streamed audio from my PC, and SACD/DVD-A playback.

When I picked up my AVP-A1HDCI I also picked up a Denon BT2500 transport. The BT2500 is one gorgeous unit that works as good as it looks. PQ on the BT2500 going through the AVP-A1HDCI's Realta processing is nothing short of stunning. I am extremely happy with both units.

Here's some pix of the two.
