Denon's $5,200 Flagship AVR-5308CI with Wi-Fi, Better Media and Cozy UI (And 12 Other New Receivers)

If you're like us, you've been waiting for AV receivers to catch up with the digital age. Today, Denon introduced a huge line of receivers, with features that are up our alley:
• Wi-Fi in the two priciest models, AVR-5308CI ($5,199) and AVR-4308CI ($2,499)
• USB inputs for bus-powered HDD, along with AAC, FLAC, WMA Lossless, MP3 and WAV decoding
• Networking connectivity for both PCs and Macs (via Twonky Media)
• A friendly user interface (don't call it Cross Media Bar!) that makes setup and networking easier, included on the two priciest mentioned above plus the non-Wi-Fi 3808CI ($1,599)—see gallery for examples
• HDMI 1.3a compatibility and 1080p output across the board; with 1080p upscaling on the higher-end models
• Auto room setup that starts automatically when you insert the tuning microphone

A nice way to future-proof your home theater set up if you ask me. So what else does Denon have in store for us? Well, for one, their high-end model (AVR-4308CI) will have built-in Wi-Fi for Internet radio (a nice bonus on a receiver). More »
