ok, i was looking at the hk refubs, and the 8000z is on for $898 us... i was wondering does this still have the fantastic bass management, and component upconversion that the new units have? if it does..then this is a definate purchase...if not, then ill go with the 435, and get a couple outlaw monoblocks in the future...

Upconversion is not mentioned in the literature but I am not completely familiar with this unit.

It looks like a refurbed 635 has up-conversion.
You might look at Denon. 2105/2805/3805. All have upconversion. A refurbed 2105 on Ubid and Outlaw Monos might do the trick.

anyone ever ordered from ecost before? they have a horrible rating on resellerratings.com, i changed my mind, im getting the 2805 cause of more optical imputs. and since im buying a refurb 2805...im now afraid that if its doa they wont send me another one (based on customer experiences from ressellerratings) but its such a good deal!! help would be greatly appreciated

There is an old saying that goes something like this: "If it is too good to be true, then, it is too good to be true."
Buyer Beware!

I haven't heard of any Denon doa's from refurbed buyers.
Regarding optical cable; see this link Digital
You might not need the 2805.

The 8000 is/was a great unit.
It does not have upconversion, or the latest DPLIIx. Nonetheless, it is a solid unit.
