Hi all,
I've been comparing a few amps for my AV install (see pics in the link in my signiture) and the Denon 4306 looks like the most promising to suit my needs and budget. I will be teaming up the amp with my Audica CS-System2 speakers.
But with this being my first time amp, I have a few concerns I'm hoping you'd be able to answer :
Any advice would be appreciated.

But with this being my first time amp, I have a few concerns I'm hoping you'd be able to answer :
- I read somewhere there were compatibility issues with HDCP and someusers experienced problems viewing content from their Sky HD box. Was this ever cleared up ? Was it a Sky or Denon bug ?
- I understand the 4306 HDMI output, does not support Audio. If I had an AV component with a single HDMI out and no audio in, if I were to connect this device to a 4306 HDMI input does imply I can only listen to it via the 4306 ? Is there no option for me to listen to it via my Plasma speakers ?
- Kinda related to the above question, but can the 4306 be used as a passthru' for signals in an Off or Standby state ?
- I'm aware the 4306 does not support HDMI scaling at all or Analogue scaling to 1080p (Correct me if I'm wrong). In your experience of Denon firmware updates, could this functionality be a possible release ?
Any advice would be appreciated.
