Now Denon has introduced the much more affordable ($6,999) and lighter (23kg) AVC-A11XV, with seven channels, each rated at 140 watts. It has everything in the way of features, including <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hifi-writer.com\/he\/dictionary.htm#hdmi\">HDMI<\/a> switching (one HDMI output, three HDMI inputs and one <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hifi-writer.com\/he\/dictionary.htm#dvi\">DVI<\/a> input), picture scaling to HD if you want (using NSV rather than the Faroudja DCDi in the AVC-A1XV), and conversion of all interlaced input standards to whatever HDMI output setting you&#8217;ve selected.<\/p>\n<p>It even has a phono input. Plus it supports all extant digital audio standards except for MPEG multichannel. There&#8217;s even <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hifi-writer.com\/he\/dictionary.htm#hdcd\">HDCD<\/a> support, and Dolby Headphone.<\/p>\n<p>But it has one piece of silliness that I can never understand. There are three optical digital audio outputs, but no coaxial ones. Since I like to have the output of my receiver plugged into the input of my computer, by way of 15 metres of cable, this is irritating.<\/p>\n<p>Still, I&#8217;d really, really like one. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.audioproducts.com.au\/APGAEnduser\/APGNZEnduser\/PDFs\/Denon\/AVCA11XVE2.pdf\">1MB PDF brochure here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Denon&#8217;s $13,000 AVC-A1XV home theatre amplifier is overkill, with its ten channels of amplification and 45 kilograms of mass.
