High end receivers

[Brooke77]

Looking at the Dennon AVR-5803a & new Sony STR-DA9000ES. Which do you think is the better receiver?

Tried to find complete specs on the sony. Couldn't find whether the box has 192khz/24-bit input capability (like the Denon).

Is there a large difference between .09% vs. .05% THD?

Sony is more powerful, has a better warranty and is a few hundred bucks cheaper. The Dennon looks like it has important features the Sony excludes. Appreciate any advice. thanks! Brooke

The Denon is in a different league than the sony, The Denon can be compared to seperates costing thousands more and hold it's own. That can not be said of the sony. Go with the Denon.
