Let's try this again, my initial response never posted for some reason J North. Hopefully my first response doesn't also show up later.Thanks for providing the details on the listening sessions. It sounds like your assesment was very well conceived.
My point on the digital volume issue was that the Panny does it for you. No need for a unit with a variable digital output which is another cost savings. I use mine with a $130 Panny DVD player, it sounds great but I'm sure it could sound better. I just like to reap all the benefits of the cost savings. No tweaks, nothing marketed as high end or special in this system for me except maybe the Daline speakers which are decent but not over achievers.
I'm not sure why you would be confounded about me not trying it against my Naim system. I didn't buy it to replace it nor do I think it could. I have never been happier with the system synergy of the Naim/Neat combo. To me, it is my holy grail after many years of trial. I don't want to replace it. It's kinda like my wife in that regard. No more comparisons. I am very happy with her also! (no I don't need another system in that regard either :-). I bought the Panny as a cost effective way to get decent sound in our family room where my wife could use it without me hovering over her and I don't worry about the kids either. I like it for ocassional movies and for TV, it does a great job in that respect also. I haven't driven all channels hard but power is not an issue for me. I can enjoy my music on it, that is what matters. It does all the things other high end gear I have owned does and has some of the musicality I like about the Naim gear. Namely clarity and focus.
Yes, you are right. We should all be excited that this is where things are headed. The next item in line should have huge expectations behind it. This Panasonic unit doesn't have to be the "beat all" miracle item but your $300 goes a heck of a lot further than I thought it ever could.
I can just be happy with that.
