I got this unit from Oade.com last week. I had been waitng for its release for 6 months. And I am not disappointed. It replaced a STR-333ES and the difference is noticable.
The imaging is great. I actually like the all in one. No need to worry about ICs!
I have also been very very pleased with the 2 channel sound. It is running a pair of Goodmans Dimension 8s that are not easy to drive, and they have never sounded better. I used to run these speaks with a MAC5100 int, and what I am hearing now is the Sony just sounds more effortless, more enjoyable. This is only 2nd digital amp I have heard, and I like it.
It will be a while before I can be sure it is not just honeymoon-itis, and the sound is actually what I am hearing. But first blush is this unit rocks.
