Bruno,
Well? How is it? How was the autosetup? Have you used dual-amp feature?
Enquiring minds need to know.................
Enjoy,

Unfortunately, I haven't spent much time with this amp (too busy to mod my speakers and room).
The autosetup seems to work - I tested it only with two speakers.
I hate the binding posts. I want spades.
I haven't played with the dual amp feature. Note that it allows to delay high vs low freq drivers (I haven't tried).
It is very quiet (almost no hiss).
Although hissy and less powerful, the Sharp SD-HX500 sounds better (better bass and slightly brighter).
Best feature: tone control done in the digital domain. This could allow me to listen to recent CD's that are extremely bright (e.g. Sting's Sacred Love). Are some recording engineers becoming deaf?
I haven't tried SACD, DVD-A, multichannel, HDMI , ...
According to a few German audio magazine that I had in hand, it is a good system but no giant killer.
Hope this helps,
Bruno
