Anyone own an Arcam AV9 Processor ?

well I'm not sticking with DVD - got quite a few Blurays now

but I had a AVR350 Arcam, and compared D.Digital 640kbps via Coaxial vs a Pioneer VSX-LX71 in TruHD and a Yamaha 3800 in TruHD (yes I owned all 3 !!! lol)

guess which one sounded better ! - even though was taking in a worse signal ...

the AV9s are so heavily discounted now - its almost too tempting ...
 
no LPCM - HDMI for video switching only

I just have a feeling that doesn't matter - I reckon you'd have to pay 2.5K + for a receiver to sound better even with the advantage of LPCM
 
speakers - Tannoy R3s, RC centre, M2 rears (to be replaced) and as rear centre a Eyris R

power amp is yet to be purchased but either a Parasound or Rotel 1075/985MKII

sub = SVS Ultra 13 :)
