[QUOTE="croak, post: 47610, member: 361"] I think Gert and Hennie got to the root in previous posts. From the model nos given (though I no longer know the range) they seem like models of like price target, one perhaps being the replacement for the other. the newer one has more bells and extra whistles and HDMI switching I suppose. Nought comes for free. analogue amplifier technology is not moving in leaps and bounds despite what the mags may say so it is unlikely that you can make a better analogue amp for less money then 5 years ago for eg. I suspect the older amp may have more of the budget on the amplifiers, this got robbed for those hdmi switches and sockets. to save a bit more, as hennie suggests, you may be listening to stereo analogue being converted to digits and back as processing and control is easier and certainly cheaper in the digital domain. Maybe using a digital out from the CD player in to the amp bypasses one conversion and may sound better... [/QUOTE]
