No, but someday if you get into separates, it could be -- but that would depend upon your listening biases. Just the mere fact that you are using a receiver, albeit a decent one, would say to me that the refinements in the N804 would go largely unappreciated. Heck, I'm using excellent separates and my CDM 9NTs sound good enough to me. Others may see it differently, but I am content to spend the money I saved on more software and tweaks.
