Do you have any actual proof of that or are you just blowing smoke? (By "proof" I mean "subjective double blind same/different listening test results." Anything else falls into the "just blowing smoke" category.)

Sigh...comarison between the Denon AVR-3808 and the Onkyo TX-SR875 both receivers are rated very highly.
Take a look at the DACs they are both Burr Brown but the Onkyo has the newer ones. The signal to noise ratio is noticeably better with the DACs on the Okyo is that proof enough? I would think that HTRs that dont use Burr Brown DACs will be even worse as BurrBrown is said to be the best available.
You cant possibly tell me that a $200 HTR will have the same sound quality that a $900 unit would have even in two channel mode. The amplification section alone would be far better in the $900 one.
