I'd like to throw the Harman Kardon AVR-525 into the mix. Has HDCD and MP3 encoding built-in, but no DTS 96/24. Is DTS 96/24 a feature I should want for future compatibility? Otherwise I hear nothing but good on it's sound qualities. My DVD player has 192/24 capable bitstream, the manual says I need a receiver with 192/24 capable DAC to take advantage of it, so I crossed the Kenwood VR-6070 off my list. I haven't heard any Onkyo supporters here either, the 800 is rated as a best buy on CNet's site, but I take that with a grain of salt.
