[QUOTE="greatwhite, post: 969110, member: 22324"] Further to the above, funny how things work - I posted originally on 12 Jan and after whole week of no-one replying, I actually took the plunge and bought the Denon baby AVR-X250bt, only to find response from you both this morning As observed, by Hi-Phibian, the entry level Denon is not sonically as capable as the 20 year old PM44SE. The thinking however, was to be able to use the HDMI connections and get the onboard DAC to do the work and also to allow the HDMI CEC on the Chromecast to trigger the amp to turn on. I would have forgone a bit of sonic performance in this instance for this to work, but alas it was a bust, despite me speaking to the agent about my intended application before purchase - It would appear the amp can't manage EDID code(s)/handshake with my PC and Monitor, a fair chunk of googling tends to suggest. Experimentation over the weekend simply yielded no workable result. I'll post on the digital section about this [/QUOTE]
