When does Denon's 5805CI Ship? Replacement at CES?

[majortom]

Anyone know when Denon's 5805CI is supposed to ship? Anyone hearing rumors of a replacement at CES (maybe with HDMI 1.3 and Dolby TrueHD, etc.)?

I believe you are referring to the 5805MK2. It is already shipping. Crutchfield is showing it as being in stock, and I have seen it in a store locally.

Nope. The 5805MK2 was released summer, their 5805CI was announced at CEDIA and was supposed to ship in December.

I don't remember seeing it last week, but it's now listed on Denon's web site. $200 more than the 5805MKII. No details at all, but on the summary page it adds two bullets:

• Audyssey Pro Calibration
• XM Radio Ready

I'm intrigued by the pro calibration. Might be enough to get me to buy this instead of the 4806CI, but I'm waiting to find out what Denon receivers will support HDMI 1.3 (Not because I can get anything out of it right now, but because I only buy amps about every 10 years!)
