    Dead Denon x3700H?

    We've had our X3700H for about 4 years and it's been great, however, it now seems a bit dead. It's set up in Preamp mode with the pre-outs driving Neumann 120ii and 80 active speakers which has worked very well. The 2nd channels are feeding amplified speakers in other rooms. Suddenly though...

This really does sound good, significantly better than Spotify HD, however it will only do 192 kHz 16 bit, not 24 bit. Does anyone have any idea why? As an aside, I really didn't expect the Ultra...
