(More customer reviews)This was my first surround sound ever (that i've owned/bought) and I could not be happier. My headphones (Sennheiser HD280 Pro's) sound got 3x better with the receiver's amp and DAC (Digital Audio Converter). Along with my audio coming from my Mac Pro via optical or from my PS3 vi HDMI, it is stunning how much better my headphone's quality got. Not to mention the CinemaDSP settings that to my surprise are actually good! Most of those settings on most devices blow. Thats just the headphones!
The speakers work great. Though i confess i'm not a speaker guru by any stretch, and i know these are *far* from top of the line, they do a great job when playing really loud music (i listen to mostly dark electro, EBM, aggrotech, or industrial) and i always get the feeling of immersion. Also the CinemaDSP settings are fantastic with music and movies alike. Usually i like to keep it on "Direct" mode (pure original signal with 0 post-processing whatsoever) but sometimes if the movies audio is hideous (fire the sound mixer) than i whip out the CinemaDSP. Although, i just watched the "new" Star Wars and the audio actually lacked punch, despite being THX certified (makes you wonder...) so i put on the "Sci-Fi" and viola, it sounded perfect.
The iPod dock connector works like a charm and i especially love the fact you can use the OSD (on screen display) to navigate your media with your remote OR you can use your remote without the OSD so you dont need your TV on. Of course if you have the OSD off you can manually (fingers on the iPod i mean) find music you want to which is perfect for parties if you don't have a computer or media device plugged in.
The accessories are very useful. Velcro stickers for you remote(s) to put on the wall or something, and rubber feet for the receiver as well as speakers. Plenty of speaker wire too. Instructions are easy, if you have basic electronics skills.
I don't have a 3D TV yet so i haven't seen how the receiver does with that, but i'm sure it's fine.
My one and only complaint is that the receiver can't have stereo subs. Ironically the subwoofer that comes with it has the ability to do stereo, but the receiver does not, which is a small hinderance when it comes to upgrading in the future. Such a detail is not worthy of docking a star soooooo there you have it. Buy it!!
