Aslam,
You can click and paste my comments all you want. You've taken them completely out of context and you obviously do not understand sarcasm. I've addressed your reputation in another thread, this will be my last reply to you.
Milt,
"I have yet to see a feature-by-feature comparison between the Denon and the Sony DA5ES that can justify the additional $2700 overhead (excluding the amps and using it as a pre/pro) by yourself or others so vehemently defending the flagships."
Forget features. The sound of the 5800 is better than that of the DA5 ES, period. That is why I purchased my 5800, the sound. The features are an added bonus, so is its upgradability. I don't think any flagship owner feels the need to justify the $1500 more (not $2700 more) they paid for their receiver to a non-owner...why? Because they are content with the sound of their system. It seems to me that you have room for improvement in your system...maybe that is why you started this thread.
I would like to echo another comment earlier. There is no need to exaggerate the price difference in the units compared. If you are going to quote lowest online prices for the Sony, you should do it for the rest of the units you are comparing it too.
