$999 is a great price for a great product.
When you say, 'performance', you're saying 'sound quality', right? Just making sure.

Since I have an amp (Emotiva LPA-1), and want to upgrade my 5 year old Pioneer Elite AVR, I'm naturally leaning towards dedicated pre-processors. I just want to be sure that dropping a grand will actually get me a decent sound quality improvement. All of the fancy-pants auto EQ stuff on the Denon's looks mighty cool, not to mention the DenonLink, and other features. But the point is sound quality, and that is my highest priority. That, and bass management on the analog inputs, which Outlaw reigns supreme.

I tell ya, I'm ready to just order the 990, the Emotiva MMC, and pick up a Denon 3806 at the local HT shop, compare them for a week or so, and send two of them back. smile

This price drop is making it even harder to resist! wink
