I understand that the 6700 will allow me to turn off the front L/R amplifiers(I use a separate amp for those channels), but other than that, is there any strong reason to get the 6700? My X5200 seems to have lost its front left channel and to send it in for repairs will cost me upwards of $600 and I'd possibly be without an AVR for a month or more. Either one of them would allow me to run 4K Blu-ray video from my Oppo over HDMI through the AVR instead of directly to the TV as I now have to do with my 5200.
What about SINAD of the DAC and amp sections? It seems that the X700 series have improved SINAD over older Denon AVRs, but will it make any audible difference in moderate sound level listening?
Thoughts?
