Cool, glad to hear it! I have the Pio 45A player (decent player, fairly cheap build quality) and I plan on upgrading to the DV-47Ai now. I have to agree on what a rock solid receiver the 56 is. I upgraded from a Marantz 7300 OSE. The Marantz was no slouch but the Elite sounds better. The MCACC along with the ability to tweak the audio with the Pioneer is a huge advantage. I really was a skeptic on Pioneer receivers till I demoed the 56. I'm happy with mine and am looking forward to trying I Link.
