FYI- I had a Denon AVR3808ci and was not very pleased with its ease of use or features. I was happy with the sound, but returned it and got the Onkyo and could not be happier. FWIW- Steve

If your using the Denon mainly for a pre-amp it may sound much better. I'm pleasently surprised as to how good my Onkyo 905 sounds using it for a pre! What are your reasons for wanting to switch to the Denon?
