I was wondering about that 7.1-channel situation also, because I'm not about to buy a receiver that will be nothing but a glorified preamp when DVD-audio hits the market.

DVD-audio can deliver six channels of full-resolution sound, so of course you'd need to add another amp to the Denon. But unless it has the same power and output characteristics, how are you going to match its channels to the Denon?

I was somewhat encouraged to read in the Denon docs that the AVR-5700 provides just such a matching facility, to match output to "within .1 dB".

I wish Denon and other manufacturers would just add the one extra amp. The DVD-audio spec has included six channels for quite a while, so they might as well strap it on and get their products ready.
