Need to replace my Denon 2910, have $400?

Thanks Lewin, you using that toolbox mod with it? Was it hard to rip all your cds?

For the time being I'm using the Touch with factory settings, thru wi-fi, supplied power supply, etc. Just volume at 100% and use the preamp volume. The mods are in my to-do list. I'm using the internal DAC too (DAC is also in my to-do).

Ripping wasn't hard at all. Use the computer audiophile guide to ripping, follow step by step, and you are good to go without guessing what's a good approach. It suggests dBPoweramp. It is time consuming, but you can rip as you do other stuff so it wasn't bothersome to me.

Thanks man, really appreciate the help, I think ill bite the bullet and go for it, do you happen to have a link to the guide you mentioned for ripping? Thanks man

BTW, I dont have a pre, just an integrated so id assume id just keep it at 100% as well and use the volume on my amp?

Correct.
