I just upgraded to a Yamaha RX-V1400 (DPLIIx patch has already been applied to all Asian units) last week itself.
I had originally planned on getting the Pioneer 45TX equivalent but there were no goods in Hong Kong since over 3 weeks.
I picked up the Yamaha whilst in Singapore last week for USD 622.00. It will only be released in Hong Kong around mid/November but I am sure the price will be atleast a hundred US dollars more in HK.
Enjoying the much needed features that were lacking from my previous Yamaha - YPAO, DPLII & DPLIIx, powered Zone 2, better ADC/DAC's, S-Video to Component upconversion.
Compared to my old RX-V2095, I find the bass very tight on the RX-V1400. It could be YPAO's magic. It certainly brought down the 63Hz & 100 Hz frequencies in my room during Auto Setup.
Still playing with it and hope to post more on this soon.
