Anthem D2 or D2V


Hi

Has anyone really heard and seen both the Anthem D2 and the new D2V? Is there a noticible and discernable difference, especially in audio quality? Is it worth the extra money for the D2V?

Thanks for any help.

I would doubt there would be any general sound quality differences but, until I get the D2V, I cannot be certain. I believe that the significant differences are in the added features and connections as they are, fundamentally, the same machine.

D2V gives you decoding of lossless codecs via hdmi, also the arc is included which makes a significant sound difference in your room. The only other difference is the videoprocessor is different than earlier models i cannot say if there is much of an improvement. You can go with a D2 and alwas upgrade it if you want to down the road
New features like Dolby Volume for low volume listening will be able to be added to the D2v as they become available, but not the D2, according to Anthem Tech Support.
Thanks

So far it doesn't sound like anything worth the difference in price between a good used D2 and a D2V.
