I seriously doubt they are better than the average AVRs. Check out Audio Science Review. The Yamaha just reviewed is ripped a new one. As for the ESS DAC, implementation matters.

Yes tried both, no luck with Marantz. Never been happy with their performance within my system(compared to others).
Yes if you like to change units often then yes resale may come into play more. ...

you tried Denon and Marantz and had no luck?
As for resale..it is what it is
It can lower or heighten what the unit actually cost to use
In certain areas I change units often ...so I do care...

For me my main/1st priority when picking a AVR(or anything for that matter) is...

While I agree the amp in the 2085 and 1070 that I also own are fairly weak compares to external power amp, but in fairness, they are far cheaper than a good power amp and the 2085 or 2080 are at...

These AVRs are consistently horrible performers, with weak amps that completely fail to meet their ratings, and stunningly bad DACs that are worse than the $10 units you get off Amazon.

True, but I would point out that the 4520 is "better" with more ch. amp. The 2080 and 2085 are practically the same with minor differences in name plate, mid chassis foot and extra year in warranty....

Then you should compare the Denon and Marantz products that share the same architecture and see the resale differences..as an example

Agreed..its not a high end piece...and almost nothing on slick deals fall into the high end category
However...I think there will still be a difference in resale value

I can tell you I pitted the 4400 vs 3070 at home within my set up and the 4400 clearly performed better for me.
I found the XT32 was more accurate than YPAO. If you purchase their RC app($20) it...

Yammie any day for the build quality and reliability as well as solid sound....Denon got all the features, but they don't last.
My RXV673 still going strong after many years of daily use.

I used to have a vintage HK stereo amp and Klipsch Cornwall speakers, amazing combo. Awesome sound.
Unfortunately, these days, I need HDMI, bluetooth, and wifi.

I doubt the A can hold much resale value over as it is not a true high end audiophile piece. If any new audio format comes around or HDMI 2.1 becomes a must have then neither will hold value.

Well can we agree that if you bought a 1980s receiver that was worth $949 today, it would be worth alot more than OPs in 10 years :)
