Not that the Denon is a bad unit but, you will be sacraficing sonics for technology if you go to the Denon. As far as your digital input question, sorry I do not know.
Denon 4806 v. B&K AVR-507
Has anyone had an opportunity to compare the Denon 4806 and the B&K AVR-507?
I have the B&K and have been generally happy with the sound and functionality. There service is usually great and they are very helpful.
B&K seems to be falling behind the technology curve in some areas, however, and not keeping up fast enough - up conversions, IEE 1394, ipods/mp3 connectivity, display of zone 2 operation (it gets left on a lot without an LED on the front panel), factory service needed to convert 7 channel to zone 2 amplifier. Most importantly, the 507 only allows analog inputs for zone 2.
Does the Denon allow digital inputs for zone 2?
Thanks.
