I'm only a member at this forum but occasionally I do read other forums and I don't recall anyone reporting what they thought was a heat related shut down. I think people are concerned about longevity because Onkyo's seem to run much hotter than other brands. Whether they run too hot is for a...

Digital to Analog Converters. Burr-Brown (by Texas Instruments) are thought to be one of the better ones. Wolfson and Motorola are two more I'm familiar with (and maybe even better than Burr-Brown) but I'm sure there are others. Onkyo uses the Burr-Browns in the 805/875/905 but for all channels...
