Point taken. My only reservation is that I love the sound and power of my NAD T763, and I don't have that kind of money to spring for the replacement, so my next receiver will have more advanced decoding chips, but I'm pretty much guaranteed not to get the same power rating (not at $600).
Of course, if Denon releases the update to the 3808 soon (to address the bugs that were in that unit), I may wait for that...
