Amen got some quirks and overall a great unit, I actually can't remember how long I've had mine, but I've run out of inputs. I've had to resort using the front inputs and snaking the wires underneath the unit. Other then that its a great unit. I too have the 880 Harmony and now have run the DVI cable directly to the projector. I know what you're saying about the upconversion. I also wish it had a dimmer. But I debated over this unit and the Adcom GTP880 and went for this one. Although I still use 2 Adcom amps.

But, I'm glad it focuses on the enthusiast who doesn't want all the BS stuff like "jazz mode" and all the DSP stuff that I never use.
