Hello,
I believe it retails for 2500 Dollars. Here is a place which sells it : http://www.buyprogear.com/newstore/...=shop.product_details&product_id=711&Itemid=1

I have never done business with this place, but they definitely seem legitimate and are an Authorized Dealer. I again will say I am not sure Ethernet FW upgrades are worth almost 1000 Dollars more minimum.
Cheers,
JJ

Thanks, I tend to agree with you. I'll prob pull the trigger on the 886. A grand is a lot.

A premium of $1000 just for ethernet is pretty steep, but you might be able to find it for cheaper if you search (no guarantees). Personally, future pre/pros that I go with MUST have FW Upgrade via ethernet because I will not be stuck in a situation like I was before where I took a receiver into a service center for a "simple" FW upgrade and it took over 2 months to get the unit back.

Update! Update.

I end up buying a Classe SSP-600.
It's far better than what I had before.

Congratulations. I am sure you are going to love it.

Avm 40 and 50 look great and they keep popping on audiogon and canuck audio mart. They could be fine for now. In 2 to 3 years, I might buy something like "Anthem Statement D4v/ARC2 with HDMI 1.7" or classé ssp-1000 ( I know they do not exist).

Seems like I couldn't wait.
Something funny:

Few years ago, I used to say that my sound system was the same value as our car.
Then we bought a second car. So I was now saying that my sound system have to be the same value as my car. I have two cars. :heehee: I must do something about this.
Now, it's done!!!!:::bigsmile:
