DB,

I have a Denon 5900, sitting in a box, until I move my setup into my newly built MC AV space.

In the meanwhile, I use the Sony NS900V that I've had for a couple of years.

New speakers, new subs, plasma screen, 5900, DVI, 7-500W amps, custom built LF router/pre/crossover/phase, high quality 2-way active x-over (to give SH's stereo subs setup the proper once over), new cables, 2 Tripplite LCR2400 line conditioners, each to it's own 20 Amp home run...all in their own, sealed 3200 cu ft room.

And sitting smugly at the center of it all is the venerable, works perfectly as advertised since day 1, 4 years left on the factory warranty, doesn't hiss, no-dot, garish green buttoned Outlaw Audio 950 Preamp/Processor.

All is well in Bosso-world
