I am in the market for a receiver for a home theater setup. I have come across the Harman Kardon digital receiver DPR 1001, but no one so far has been able to tell me the advantages/disadvantages between it and analog receivers. Up till now, I was thinking of getting a HK 2 or 3 series, but I have noticed places selling this digital one for $500 (it is approx. $1000 msrp). I will be putting the receiver on a bottom shelf of an enclosed entertainment center that will have to have the door open when it is playing. I know the digital receivers run a lot cooler, but if they do not have comparable THD % levels, I don't know if I would want it. Does anyone know if digital amps will be to analog receivers as digital cameras are to film cameras (i.e. destined to replace them)? Thanks for any help!
