many seem to be moving back to the "specs are everything" mindset I`ve been reading this forum since the early 2000`s and I have not noticed this happening, at all. Some, here, use the various specs as a guide. We all hear differently, and wit...

Denon x4700h DAC change
 an arcam will blow away your denon   @audiotroy That is your opinion.
