It's decent. I don't use it for anything but TV since I've found my Denon DVD-2910 player sounds so much better using analog inputs.

This is what I'm MOST interested in....will it sound as good as the DACs in the Denon DVD player? I want to jump up to 7.1 but can't since my DVD player only processes 5.1. Of course, I could sacrifice sound quality and use my Yamaha receiver for 7.1 but would like to find a processor that sounds as good as my Denon.

I'm hoping the 990 is the answer.
