Your link doesn't seem to be working, at least on my end. Is this the same receiver that they announced last last January? It looks interesting but I wonder if it will ever come to market as it has missed its target date a few times already. I believe March 2006 is now the latest release date they are giving. I think at that price range its going to have some serious branding problems considering the competition it will have. I mean, would somebody who was looking to spend really big bucks rather have a Lexicon, Anthem, Krell or Samsung?
Edit: link works now and yes it is the same receiver.

The link works for me. Interesting. DVI AND HDMI switching with HDCP. It also uses digital amplification (250wpc X 7 @8ohms), though there are no specifics listed. I'll be curious to see if this ever winds up being a shipping product. The projected list price is US$5k. If it has the usual Samsung street pricing discount then it might prove to be an interesting piece of gear.
Cheers,
