My problem now is deciding which model to get. RX-A6A or RX-A6A?

Is there typo A6 vs A8 you mean?

A8 if you need one box solution for 7.2.4. Larger power supply and larger caps now similar what Marantz SR8015 has. Example Denon X6700H has only 15,000uF/73V caps while being similar 11.2 model. A8 has also better DACs all in all.

Will these DACs make much of a difference in sound quality?

Rx-A6A pre-order done! ;) Now just need to be patient . Probably it going to take a while!
It may take up to Xmas if no more than one container of goods left the Malaysian factory before recent local lockdown.

Weird times man! My last Denon x4700h . I have placed the order on August 2020 and only received that on October 2020.

Anyone sending one of these for @amirm ? I see some happy owners already at AVSForum. I hope we get to see at least A6A and A8A measured by Amir cause the already measured A1080 is very similar to new A4A.
