Hello Rico and welcome to the Shack :T

I have not heard the NAD receiver but by all accounts I'm sure it is a good one, I can say that nearly all the glitches with HDMI has been more or less ironed out with the Arcam products, I have an AV888 and am on v2.2 firmware and it does not give me any issues with HDMI handshaking.

What did the dealer recommend when you heard both?

Ah,different dealer's different opinion's of course,I like the fact the Nad can be upgraded with the MDC make up so with all the 1.4 it won't be so bad and I think the Arcam looks better and has a better designed cooling system but they both sound so much better to me than all the others I've listened to.
