I guess we're just not gonna see eye-to-eye on this one XenonMan.

I see the market as the stereo receiver market, whether it's analog, digital or some combination of the two. I own an RR2150 and were I in the market today I would probably be taking a closer look at the units that have more digital inputs other than a single USB port. Heck, I might even give the hybrid digital amplifier units from NAD a serious listen. The critical distinction for myself is that it's a stereo receiver optimized for two-speaker sound as opposed to analog/digital specifically. All you have to do is add an outboard DAC to the RR2150 and it essentially becomes a digital system.

If you look back in the RR2150 forum posts, the various HK stereo receivers come up now and then as 'comparison' units. Intentional or not, the RR2150 does compete with these units.
