No balanced out, no streaming, No thanks. I see heavy discounts ahead on this one.

How can they release a $3500 processor with no DV passthrough when most shows I stream from my Roku are in DV. No streaming either. Like someone said above....Hard Pass.

Very hard pass, especially at that price with too old technology as noted by all comments.

Regardless of the quality, the cons outweigh the pluses for me. I stream everything I own from a Synology NAS and draw the line at having to use an external device to deliver network content to a brand new $3,500 AV processor. Big disappointment as I was looking forward to it as an overdue replacement for my Rotel RSP-1098 AV Processor, but time to look elsewhere for my Atmos upgrade.

Direct buttons for each input are locate at the bottom, while buttons to toggle through sound modes are located at the top along with controls to adjust center, surround, and subwoofer channel levels on the fly. photo booth Houston TX

I’ve been enjoying PayID Casino for weeks now, and it’s been great. The game library is vast, with something for everyone. AU players will particularly like the fast PayID transactions and secure platform. The website is easy to navigate, and I love how the promotions add excitement to every session. It’s a solid pick for anyone who loves online gaming.
