DENON AVP-A1HDCI vs. Anthem Statement D2?

Cary Audio Cinema 11a and Cinema 11v. Seperate Audio and video modules. Looked and more importantly sounded amazing at CES.

But I do love the Anthem as well. I think the audio on the Cary is better. But that may just be my bias.

Well, the Denon 5308 is a receiver, the AVP1 is fully loaded pre/pro, with even more features including all the new audio codecs for Blu-ray and HD DVD and I am waiting on one now. I also am currently playing with the new Anthem D2 with the ARC room correction, and I can say if you haven't heard one with the room correction, forget anything you've heard before, the ARC is incredible!

I will try to post back once I've gotten the Denon and let you know. the Anthem is a great pre/pro, but alas it does not yet have an upgrade path for the new audio codecs.

I too am considering the Denon AVP-A1HDCI vs the Anthem D2. Do you have any notes on the comparison?

Thanks

In terms of Home Theater , the Denon AVP-A1HDCI is the king of the hill.

Any more recent opinions on this?
