Like a lot of things it's a quick improvement from super cheap to reasonable. After that you are paying for smaller and smaller improvements for a lot more money. As an engineer (not sound engineer mind you) I have always said the first 95% of perfection comes relatively cheap. That last 5% is really expensive. Yet some people are willing to pay a lot for that last 5%.
Right when COVID hit, the AVRs were a great price but I was apprehensive spending money at that time 🤔

Ability to use Alexa/Google to, for example, tell alexa to 'play stairway to heaven on denon' (amazon music required).
This one has room correction software which makes the sound nicer.
Your other model is X not S so you'll also be losing some things. Can't remember, think it is pre-outs to optional second amp, and losing Zone 2. Not sure if OPs denon has zone 2.
For me the alexa thing is big. I can say a song to alexa and hear it through a receiver instead of an echo. That's big value to me.
Saved a few bucks with my procrastinating, so all good. Was almost ready to buy Onkyo 6050, but my preference is Denon.
Only piece of electronics that has died on me over the years was an Onkyo Stereo Receiver. Had that in the back of my mind

But unless I can fix mine I'm looking at my options and I've been eyeing this model but also my Best Buy also has a Yamaha RX-V6A open box for $409 that I think I could talk them down on. Plus I have a $90 certificate I can put toward it. Then yesterday at a pawn shop I saw a AVR-X1400 for $125.
I've a had a bunch of issues with my current Denon and that x1400 is from the same year with mostly the same design I'm wary to put more money toward something that may end up being another headache. Especially being from a pawn shop. On the other hand if I can talk the price down and it works I would be happy to put off "upgrading" till I need to.
I'm concerned with this 970 that it has the same flaws that my 930 has had with speakers cutting out and now this static in the right speaker. The cutting out went away when I changed the board that the speaker terminals while also replacing the hdmi board that had totally died. Which is all why I'm eyeing that Yamaha despite everything I read favoring Denon receivers. At least it would be something different, which could be fun.
Idk should I try my luck with the x1400? Will the Audyssey XT on a 6 year old receiver actually still be better than the regular Audyssey on this 970 or the YPAO with RSC on the Yamaha? How low should I try to get the open box Yamaha to make it worth it or should I just stick with this Denon and hope it has less issues than my last one?
Looks like office is closed on Saturday

I just got a LG G2 and I'm maxing out my output too easily on today's new movies it seems. 20w per isn't cutting it I think and the Sony is shutting down output at intense action moments.
I don't have a sub at this time either and just running 5 speakers. An old house and thin walls don't make keeping noise to one room easy. So, I may not add one.
Long story short I'd love to get a new receiver (or two) that can handle 4k but I haven't shopped for one in so long I don't know what's good anymore. I've always like Yamaha. Never owned a Denon but have been a fan. I also see some Pioneer Elites on here as well.
