I too have switched from Onkyo to Denon and damn glad i did after reading this thread.
I had contemplated going with Onkyo again during the media room rebuild but a few things swung me to Denon, primarily the longer standing reputation for quality along with the better room correction software.
One thing i don't like is that i can't see to easily change the DSP mode from the front buttons. I hate having to use a remote to access such functions. It's a small but niggling thing. The other night i noticed while watching Crave that i had sound from my side surrounds but not the rears. The Denon was set in DD mode, it was only recognizing 5 speakers, not 7, but of course when i watch Disney+ or other that have a stream in more than 5.1 DD, the rear surround do kick in.
Kind of annoying that i can't get all the surrounds to produce sound when the Denon is in DD mode with a 5.1 signal.
Unless i'm missing something here.
