There is zero difference in sound quality. Here is a list of things you get with the 3805 that the 3803 doesn't have or do:
- Dolby Pro Logic IIx
- Additional 10 watts per channel (8 ohms, 20 Hz-20 kHz, <.05%THD)
- Auto Setup & Parametric Room EQ
- Extended Bass Management Crossover Points (150/200/250Hz)
- DENON Link 3rd Edition (Super Audio CD & DVD-Audio) compatible digital input
- True 3 Source, 3 Zone functionality with discrete power, Source Select and volume control for each zone
- ALPHA 24 Processing Plus (AL24+) on all channels (not just the front speakers)
- EL backlighting pre-programmed/learning remote
- Two (2) assignable +12V triggers

No difference in sound quality. The 3805 has additional (PLIIx), but not better. If you can score a 3803 for $600-$700, go for it. You won't be disappointed. The only reason for the 3850 price premium is to have the latest/best.

AF, as Peter and Ray have pointed out there's no reason for there to be any difference in their basic sound quality since each is audibly transparent. Where there can be a difference is in applying the automatic equalization which the 3805 has and which can(only partially)correct for listening room problems.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

What's up, John? Are you abandoning your auto-EQ position?
You have been such a proponent of that feature I thought you might have invented it.

Thank you all. I'll check it out on audiogon or something. Probably, Rotel is my next concern if my budget is not tight
