I was just looking around in another audio forum and read about a guy looking for a budget system and he wanted the Panasonic Xr55. Everyone was telling him to go with something else and then he posted a link about a guy replacing his Rotel 1095 and M-Audio delta 1010 10 channel computer DAC with the Panasonic Xr55, stating that it sounds as good if not better. He makes these claims because of the digital amps in the Panasonic.
I would like to hear your thoughts on this.

Here's the link if you're interested.
