I switched from a cheap Sony to a Denon AVC-X4800H. The support of DTS-HD was the first major improvement. The biggest however, albeit requiring a second, large investment, was the integrated Dirac room correction. I started out with Dirac Room Correction and Bass Control, it was night and day. I later bought the Dirac Art license, which fortunately was supported by my receiver (only a handful from Denon and Marantz are), which - again - was night and day from before. I'm incredibly happy now and the upgrade was absolutely worth it, though it did cost me around 2k in total.

Dude. My X4800H just did that to me at 3:00-‘. Never used the radio before and it was blasting Bloomberg or something like that. Scared the shit out of me.
