After you've obligatory discarded manual's usual messy setup blah-blah and diagrams, time to welcome the true boons that in this machine are:
1. Real 24-bar adjustable level on front speakers.
2. Same freedom of input source sensitivity adjustment.
3. No meaningless and nasal "special cinema modes" - and hence, well-controlled well-behaved DSP and generally unclustered DD/DTS decoder.
4. Choice of 5 to 7-channel stereo which is exactly the mode to call for anyway anytime.
5. Last not least, Denon's audiophile grade, heavy duty transformer which only prooves the industry's 10-year long infatuation with toroidal design a fad, to say least.
4. Mundane bass/treble - entailing wider and natural curve unlike no naggy 7-way graphic equalizer.
5. Mechanical switchbutton on mains PLUS standby one.
That takes care of the sheer sound quality and dismisses whatever speculation about "digital chip technology limitations" and "quantization errors" - to justify analog hi-end. In passing this Denon does credit to brands' very singular studio presence (being confirmed pro's N1 last year for sturdiness and service-free reliability) as well as literally bogging technicality. Luckily, the latter never cloggs the control domain - on the contrary, controls are piece of cake in use and logical as anything. User is strongly recommended to leave delays and room size alone (i.e. at minimal readings) and select all speakers as LARGE, no matter what. That'll furnish subwoofer with CORRECT frequencies (and depress the wrong) opening up for widerange vibrant and transparent sound quality that's immediately reminiscent of studio Denons. Speakers to select - anything receptive to the same (strongly suggest ProAc's as most tube-tuned I ever encountered)... What's not so good? Smallish caps in power supply which in no way justify the 80 watt per channel rating (told you to discard manual, haven't I?). Output stage could be larger, too (were it descreete - I didn't notice). No phono input - though no fault of Denon's, this. Still under 12 kg net weight - as BCAC factor (Buyer's Critical Appreciation Criteria) starts from 16 upward. 7 channels are okay for even 5-channel encoded program, but in real life it's the width of audioband that counts - and here, the less channels we have, the wider audioband gets. Splitting everything in tiny portions will stay the ploy for industry for quite some time, and consumer should know better that playing in. Me, I gave up balancing the rear surround to center channel, and ended up leaving off RS altogether. The set understands this move well, offering number of RS mixing options. Oh, and I was forgetting: if your system's cabling direction and mains plug phasing are correct (reverse those that are not), you'll get fantastic quality on Audio Direct mode.
