"Heapatrouble, Onkyo is releasing a NEW Flagship NR-Series Receiver very soon. They didn't upgrade the cards or the software because this receiver IS 4 years old now and they are putting their resources towards the new model instead of this one. Having said that, Integra discontinued the 10.5 line (which was essentially the same unit, but unlike the onkyo, was fully configurable and started at around $3800 with the basics) and they also had a PreAmp version of it as well. Denon, Marantz and Onkyo have yet to come out with a NEW flagship reciever. The Denon 5308 is NOT it! They have the AVP and POA Pre/Pro and Amp and they sound AMAZING, but they NEED a 5805 Replacement with the updated surround formats, Silicon Video Processor, etc in ONE unit. Marantz had the SR9600 a year ago and they need to replace that as well. They are taking a LONG time to get these released (I KNOW they are on the way), but I think the wait will be worth it."
