If 2ch stereo is important options with h/t bypass are used by some ; otherwise the emi/rf in an enclosed space like an avr with many other functions requires good isolation ;shielding and an apropro power supply.. . Thats why a separate box with ht bypass can be much more efficacious as it does 1 thing well rather than multiple things at once There are better avr's out there though that have above average 2ch though ; number of channels and room size would help suggestions ..

Afraid so Jerry ; if you listen to blurays and other hi rez sources like sacd ; dvd a and maybe hi rez downloads you need things like lossless decoding and dacs that wont downrez to 24/96 . Many newer avr's have higher rez dacs like 24/192 or higher end analogue stages that do them justice Have a look around the classifieds here ; many bargains like this Marantz if on a budget ?

A clever designer that wanted to emulate " tube sound" without the harmonic distortion through clever impedance matching Had some clever dsp modes as well in the upper market stuff with his decorellation circuitry He also was involved with Phase Linear ; heavy duty stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
